Need help choosing a racquet

I don't know if you get a lot of threads like these, but I need some help choosing a new tennis racquet.

To begin, I'll tell you a bit about my game. I'm a self rated 3.5-4.0 that hits mostly flat, and likes to come to the net to put away easy volleys. I do have a tendency to mis-hit sometimes. My current racquet is oversized and extremely light (8 oz, I don't know how big the frame on my next racquet should be). I'm looking for something that weighs a lot more, but nothing too heavy (13+ oz). I use an eastern forehand, hit flat with a lot of pace, a two handed backhand-also flat with a lot of pace and I love to play the net although my volleys right now are not that great. If you have any other questions that could help me find the right racquet for me, please do ask.

Thanks.
 
Go to your local tennis shop, tell them what you have stated here, and then ask them to provide you at least 3 different frames to demo.

Good luck!
 
Oh, I forgot to mention; my price range is under $200.

@drakulie I'm not sure how knowledgeable the local sports stores are. It's hard to trust people in retail, especially if they make commission.
