Hi Nikhil,

Ma Lin uses the more traditional Chinese penhold grip with the fingers curled on the back of the racket.  

Because Wang Hao uses a lot of Reverse Penhold Backhands (RPB) he tends to have the bat turned around in his hand more often by putting more pressure on the thumb to rotate the bat in his hand a little to get the angle for the RPB.
