The new Dunlop Biomimetic F 3.0 Tour is at least worth a demo; good power, easy to maneuver.

Dunlop Biomimetic 200 Lite

Sounds like a nice stick. Dunlops are just great.

I love the blade 98 which is in this range, and i also would suggest the tecnifibre 305, a very underrated stick.

Looks very good but how armfriendly is it? (comfort 80...)

Yes, however, it meets a lot of your criteria:
-Great serving racquet
-very arm friendly
-a lot of power
-great groundstrokes

It doesn't have bad control either, but if you are saying you can't swing it (which is understandable), then I would pass on it.

- I want comfort and power (high racketspeed with old body...).
- Huge sweetspot (level 4).
- Small beam (kick).

Only the swingweight is a little to much...

Comfort, power, control, in that order: V1 MP

Comfort and control, less power: Radical MP, Dunlop 300 series (the older verions, haven't tried the new version)

They all need lead tape for your target of 11.5oz

I agree, the F 3.0 Tour is an all-around solid stick at approximately 11.5oz strung. It could use some lead in the hoop for more push, but that's just personal preference as the stock is perfectly fine.

F3 Tour or Donnay XDual Gold worth a look. Both are good sticks.

The one in my sig us my current favorite followed by the Dunlop biomimetic 200 lite.

Wilson 2012 Pro Tour BLX 16x20, very close to my Dunlop Bio 200 lite with more power. Donnay X-Hybrid a true hidden (and cheap) gem of a hybrid.

Try Donnay Pro One 18x20.
It is close to the racket you want.
