After a ten year hiatus, I returned to tennis a couple years ago, and needed a stick, so I bought the Ti S6 off a rack at the local sports store. Liked it a lot, but obviously way too much power. Broke original string, then had it strung with RIP Control, and had it strung at a very tight 65 lbs, and it plays excellent. Then, about a year ago during a club sponsored demo day I fell in love with the Pure Drive (couldn't hit any previous Babolat) and bought it, strung up with XCel.
That story brings me to two points. One, in my 32 man 4.0 and under league, at least six play this racquet, and all are between 35 and 45 in age.
Two, I've had much more problems regarding arm pain with the Pure Drive, something I had never experienced before. I still play it, it is a superior racquet for my game, though I am soon purchasing the Volkl V1 MP (hopefully my last racquet purchase for 3-5 years). I'm just saying, way more arm trouble from the highly popular Pure Drive compared to the Ti S6.
Lastly, Chosen One, I would definitely recommend stringing this with a solid string, and on the tight side of the range. You'll still get plenty of pop and power, but will greatly improve your control game. Good luck.
