Does anyone know a good website that compares older tennis racquets
versus the latest ones? I would like to demo some new racquets but sadly
have noticed that most don't offer a 4 5/8" grip anymore. That is what I
use and want to continue with that grip size. Any suggestions?

My current racquets are great but they are 20 years old. Since I have
three racquets, don't abuse them, and keep them in a climate controlled environment (except when playing); they have held up well.

I use the Wilson Hyper ProStaff 6.5 Midplus and here us a website that
reviews this awesome beast:

Thanks in advance!

I switched to this racket a few months ago, very happy with it. Need to
hit the sweet spot for max benefit, moreso than other rackets;

They have the wrong pic in that link as it's the 'Team' version. Mine
is the standard pro staff;

I went the 3/8th with overgrip.

I am surprised you are saying that there is no grip 5 any more, but I will choose to believe you, I guess.

Anyway, an overgrip should take you from size 4 to 5.

Over grips can slide around when hitting. I want my grips to be very
firm. Especially when returning hard hit shots.
