Absolutely! My racquet collection contains about 100 racquets from every era from mid- 80’s up to approx. 2015, all acquired from thrift stores. I Generally have used headlight, 95 to 100 sq. in. 11 to 12 1/2 oz. frames with fairly firm flex, mostly from mid 90s to 2010. I’m 74 years old and recently had shoulder problems. It resolved without surgery or radical treatment. When I resumed playing, I pulled out my Prince mid 80s collection of 110 in. ( actually more like 106 sq. in. racquets), i.e., Graphite Comp, Spectrum Comp, Graphite Supreme, Tournament Graphite, as well as Pro Kennex Tournament Classic oversize and found that these solid, 12 oz. and over, narrow-framed, flexy sticks are the solution to my shoulder issue. They play like a dream, both power and control, and their flex absorbs the shock that was causing my shoulder problem. If you plan on playing as long as I have, keep the old sticks as they are good as gold in your later years. The exception is Wilson Profiles and other super stiff and head heavy racquets which are good for hanging on the wall, but will put you out of action, and in pain, when your joints take the beating.
