Who are some good short pip penhold models to look for or copy?
They don’t have to be super good.
I’ve got He Zhi Wen, Wang Zeng Yi, Yan Sheng, Kunhito Tasei, Yang Min, Sun Chen, Shan Xiaona, Ju MingWei, David Zhuang, Tin Tin Ho, Jiaqi Zheng, Jesus Cantero.

Are there Good videos on the techniques?

I played short-pips for a year and found Hyun Jung-Hwa, Kim Ki-Taik, Ding Yi as my favourites to copy their technique.
Ding Yi and Hyun Jung-Hwa played Masters so there's recent videos of them playing. Ding Yi has won it loads of times which is remarkable as he plays a very physical style for his age.
You are obviously missing the 2 GOATs of the style, Jiang Jialiang and Liu Guoliang. Jiang did play legends so there is footage of him with the new ball. Liu is more unique with the old spinpips so has a slightly hybrid style.
There are loads of female Koreans who play short-pips penhold. My favourite aside from Hyun is Lee Eun-Hee who plays very similar to Shan Xiaona but has a more punchy higher risk style. Her match Vs Shim Se-Rom is one of the best on YouTube imo. A pro player from a few years ago is 강하늘 who is fantastic. And there's a number of amateurs on the Korean circuit who may be more applicable for your level. They tend to play male players often as well and win against them. I was watching one such match just this week; players like 신재인 and 신선미.
I think the short pips style works particularly well in the female game especially with the 40+ ball, as the new ball tends to pop up and float a bit in a way the celluloid ball didn't. I think they should produce more players, shouldn't be too difficult.
