Doesn't have to be the Oversize, the Head Microgel Radical Midplus should do fine.

What about Wilson Pro Staff 97 ULS?

 

[nvr2old]

I have the Head MG Mid and OS and I think they would be great. Also just picked up a Head Microgel Radical Extreme new for $82 on sale and pre strung. 100 SI head size. Kind of a tweener frame but I like it.

Going for previous years models and demo sales is a good way to pick up premium rackets at a good price.
Getting a 2015 Wilson Blade or Babolat Pure Drive would be a good thing to look for at your level if you are young and your elbows can handle it.

Wilson Burn 100 Team, 16x20, $99. We have one and it's a very good stick.

then the mg radical os would be a good option

I really don't think any of the above racquets are suitable for a 40 year old 3.5 level player. They're either too stiff, too low powered. For $140 you can get this racquet which is very easy to use and looks great.

That's a good one, as is the Textreme Warrior 100 which is usually around $80-$100 used in the classifieds here.
