What is better in 93" than Volkl Tour 10?

I have had a pile of 93" rackets, many 14x18s, a few others and then I snagged a couple of Volkl Tour 10s (non V-engine) 93" 18x20 12oz and thought I have never hit with anything better in this head size. And then like a dummy I gave my pair away to another over 60yr old player who played his best tennis I have ever seen when I lent him one of mine. Fortunately the big auction site came up with a trio of them at my price range so snagged a triple play of these rackets.

Pro Kennex Micro Mid !!!!
I don't miss that racket one bit! Especially stringing it with those nasty shattering grommets and bumper. Boy, I have sure had my totally self-inflicted share of "what were you thinking" rackets. Picked up a couple more as well. There are some that just keep rising to the top of the pile over the years with me: POG OS and Tour 10 Mid being two. I'm still infatuated with the Wilson 4.7Eb 115 but it may be infatuated with wearing my elbow out prematurely. The Tour 10 Mid and POG OS are so comfortable. The Babolat Pure Storm GT is a comfy "light" racket. I may have to resurrect my 95" PS LTD GT+ 18x20.

I would put the Micro in the bag if I had to play with that size...right next to the Tour 10. I'm sure the strings will fail and I'll be sorry when it happens; but until then...
Tennis might be more interesting IF everyone had to use sub-95" weapons. I KNOW it would be tough for me; but I think I could adapt(even though 102 seems to be my 'magic' number). Should have been size limits(realistic ones) implemented decades ago...at least for tournament play.
