Racquet similar to Pure Drive?

I absolutely love my Pure Drive + but it is killing my arm/wrist. I've tried dampeners and the like, changing strings, etc. but nothing works, so now I'm looking for a racquet similar to the Pure Drive or Pure Drive +. It can be 27 or 27.5 inches. I guess weight isn't an issue, since I can just lead it up. I'd like it to be 100 inches. What do you guys suggest?

The Head MicroGel Extreme Pro and Prince Speedport Black are two rackets which are similar to the Pure Drive.

I've learned that the + makes the pain to your wrist/arm worse. More leverage = more pressure on the arm.

Try the regular version and maybe that'll help (a LITTLE BIT).

I have the same problem with the pure drive +....even the aero pro, aero storm...etc...
 
Here are a few racquets I found on TW that look to be similar to the PD but more flexible:

Yonex RDS 003
ProKennex Ionic Ki 5
ProKennex Kinetic Pro 5G
Prince O3 Tour MP
Fischer Magnetic Tour

Have you guys ever played with these racquets? How good are they for aggressive spin-friendly baseline play?

Thanks

I really liked the RDS 003 - the only reason I chose the PDC over it was because having had elbow issues in the past, I wanted a racquet with some type of dampening system in it, even though my elbow didn't hurt the few days I demo-ed the 003...

I've got shoulder problems, but I've heard the speedport black is arm friendly from a couple of people on these forums. I want to try it and see what it's like but I have to wait until someone gets it.
