I did much the same thing returning to tennis at age 62 after decades off. Thought I should probably go large head. Demoed everything from a Ti.S6 down until I got to the 100 size. A buddy of mine plays with Yonex Vcore Feel which is one of the $99 China factory strung models that all the companies offer. Immediately I was 17 years old again. Just effortless power and control. Went ahead and tried some more 100s and many of the smaller model rackets all the way down to the newest version of my trusty old Prostaff 85 which I used in from '83 to about '95 when I stopped playing. In the end, I ordered 2 of the VCore Feel racquets and am a very happy camper. They both came strung mid tension with the Yonex basic synth gut 16. Usually, such racquets vary from sample to sample, but these are identical. And I love the Yonex smallish butt cap, overall grip shape and even the grip itself. Don't need an overwrap.
This was funny. You guys work well together. Stay with "your" racquet. You can keep the others in the bag just in case!

Would be more valuable to experiment with the strings (multi, poly, hybrid) and tension instead of trying to push Solinco
Stick the the clash
