Style analysis
Wang Chuqin's setup mirrors Fan Zhendong's — Hurricane 3 National forehand, Tenergy 05 backhand, Hurricane Long 5X blade — but his playing style emphasises particularly aggressive close-table attacking and an explosive backhand that wins points outright. The Tenergy 05 backhand supports this active attacking emphasis better than commercial Hurricane alternatives would, and his forehand swing speed extracts heavy spin character that distinguishes his shots even by Chinese national team standards. This is the modern Chinese configuration executed at the highest current level.
