Möregårdh is right-handed and uses the European shakehand style to hold his racket. He has drawn comparisons to the Swedish great Jan-Ove Waldner for his extensive use of backhand blocking and backhand punching. He also regularly employs a number of unconventional techniques, such as the chop block, which contribute to his creative playing style.[5][6]
Möregårdh is notable for being one of the first elite players to use a table tennis racket with the Stiga Cybershape blade, which has a hexagonal shape as opposed to the more common oval shape. As a Stiga-sponsored athlete, he uses the Stiga Cybershape Carbon CWT Truls Edition blade and the Stiga DNA Platinum XH rubber on both sides.[5]
