Hung primarily employs an at the table, counter-driving style of play. She utilises long serves as well as short serves due to her rallying proficiency, which effectively allows her to capitalise on all but the most aggressive of returns and take control of the point. She consistently slices long on the return of serve, often inducing a weak attacking shot from her opponent that can easily be dispatched for a winner. Because of her flat hitting style, however, Hung has historically struggled against choppers. Recent years have seen the development of her forehand topspin in order to counteract such style players.
