I usually chop with one finger down to my waist almost right in front of my body, if that makes any sense.
Picture hands moving on a clock with "12" being straight up and "3" being 90 degrees down from there. In other words my chop is an open hand straight up and then down to be parallel to the floor and hold that for a beat before I drop my arm.
