He has been actively engaging with the international community through the Slingshot Forum since 2016, sharing his knowledge and passion for the sport.
As a craftsman and innovator, Chen has designed and produced a range of iconic slingshots, including the TTF Hammer, Victory-2, Yeyan, SW2 and XiaoFork series. These creations, along with his renowned GZK Band Shop and the famous GZK Green Latex (launched in 2016), are sought after by enthusiasts in over 70 countries.
