During his career, he has appeared twelve times in major world competition finals, which is a record. In men's singles, he has won the Asian Championship, Asian Cup, Asian Games, and Chinese National Games at least once.
Wang Hao retired from the national team at the end of 2014.[7]
Equipment
Wang Hao used a DHS Hurricane Hao blade(Special Blade for Wanghao: It's called N656) with a DHS Neo Skyline III Blue Sponge for forehand and Butterfly Sriver topsheet on Bryce sponge for his backhand.
Playing style
Wang uses a penhold grip. 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 Hao to generate large amounts of spin on the forehand side. [citation needed]
Compared to most pen-hold players on the professional circuit, Wang Hao 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.[8]
Personal life
Wang Hao and Yan Boya met in 2010 and they married in 2013.[9] The same year, they had a son, Wang Ruiting. Wang Hao stated he would prefer his son to not pursue table tennis.[10]
