New Racquet Help

Hi! I'm an 18 year old college player looking for a new racquet. I've been using a pair of Pure Storm GTs, but one broke a while ago. I'm now searching for a replacement pair!
I usually hit a topspin forehand and will flatten it out of given a short ball. I hit a flatter 2 handed backhand and will often hit backhand slices. My first serves are flatter and I have a kick second serve. I enjoy playing in all parts of the court and will come up to net if given the opportunity.
The small problem I have with my current racquet is that it sometimes lacks plow through. The racquets I currently plan on testing are the Pure Control and the Pure Control Tour. I'm hoping that adding some weight will help with stability and plow through.
Now I'm wondering what other racquets I should demo. I am also wondering how I should apply modifications to enhance my experiences with the racquets. Thanks!
 
I have been using Wilson six.one BLX 18x20 2010. It's pretty hefty and you might want to try something like that for plow through. For me it had excellent control and touch.
Downside: low swingspeed, low power, unforgiving for out-of-center hits. I'm going to switch to a tweener because I'm just not good enough for this racket, but on a good day against a lesser opponent, it's the best racket I've ever held.
