Why is the Prince Graphite II disfavored?

[Too Poor for Grass]

I'm looking to get back into tennis and have narrowed my frame choices to the Prince Original Graphite series and the Wilson Pro Staff Series. I've noticed that both the first-generation POGs and the new Prince Graphite Tour Classic bring in extraordinary prices on an unmentionable auction site, but the Graphite II brings nearly nothing despite the apparent fact that it was supposed to be the successor to the POG.

What's the story? No one seems to like this frame.

It's a great frame, a little stiffer than the POG. It's just not in demand, because it doesn't bear a "classic" title. That's really all it is.

I've played with one before... It's not a bad racquet. I thought the racquet has less power than the POG. Volleys are alittle harder to controlled compared with the POG. Otherwise, it's not a bad racquet.

its because they did not have a mid (93 sq. in) available unlike the pog 90.
