At the moment, I use a Prince Diablo Tour 93, and though I do intend to keep right on using it for the most part, I wanted to get a proper vintage racquet for kicks. I'm not referring to a wallhanging case, I mean that I want to get something to play with. Right now, I've got a Bancroft "Aries" (I assume that's it, because it says that on the throat) which has about an 84 sq in head, and it's nice because it's SO flexible. Now, that I got for no real reason; it was $13 at my local used sports equipment store, so I picked it up.
So, I wanted to know: What racquets would I want to look for to meet these specifications:
Preferably under 80 sq inches, definitely under 90
Over 12 oz
Very flexible (I don't really know where my Aries is, but I want it to be close to that, if possible)
Preferably graphite, though really anything between wooden composite (think Head Graphite Edge, as opposed to Wilson Jack Kramer Pro Staff) and aluminum will suffice.
Obviously, those are just guidelines, but I'd like to see them met if possible. Any thoughts?
EDIT: Oh, and something that I can get at least a few of the specs on would be nice, too..
