Wang used a DHS Hurricane Hao blade (a special blade for Wang called N656) with a DHS Neo Skyline III Blue Sponge for forehand and Butterfly Sriver topsheet on Bryce sponge for his backhand.

He is representative of a new wave of penhold players, having good attacking and defensive skills off both wings of the table.

The greater freedom of the wrist involved in a penhold grip allows Wang to generate large amounts of spin on the forehand side.

[citation needed] Compared to most pen-hold players on the professional circuit, Wang uses the reverse-side for almost all shots on the backhand side, with the small exception of balls placed very slow and short within the table during serves.

This style of using the reverse-side exclusively for the backhand was considered to be improper, and when he first joined the national team most players did not think highly of him.
