Wang Hao (born December 15, 1983 in Changchun) is a Chinese table tennis player. He won the silver medal in men's singles at the 2004 Summer Olympics Games. He lost to Korean penhold player Ryu Seung Min. He is now the world's highest ranked player. Wang uses a Chinese penhold grip. He is a pioneer in the penhold grip with his revolutionary reverse backhand move, the first on the Chinese national team to be exclusively trained in its use . He frequently uses this technique to "loop drive" the ball over the net when receiving serves, or simply as a counter driving technique in a rally. He uses the DHS Dipper as his primary blade (Hurricane Hao as secondary) with Skyline 3 for the forehand rubber, and Sriver topsheet on Bryce sponge for his backhand and is probably the current most popular player in the world. I wish Wang Hao can be successful at last.
