My old faithful Prince Power Pro 110

(Eastanollee, GA)
I bought my Prince Power Pro 110 in 1988, after my favorite Prince graphite racket broke in two after a hard shot was directed at me at the net.(self defense) I loved that racket and decided to stick with a Prince racket.
I researched all the tennis magazines in '88' and found rave reviews for the Prince Power Pro 110 racket for intermediate players and it was an amazing racket. I fell in love with it from the first hit and 23 years later, it is still my racket of choice when I play. I have tried to retire this racket and research new models, but nothing I buy comes close to the power and accuracy I get from my Prince Power Pro 110.
I always string it at 70 lbs. and no one wants to string it that tight for me. (range is recommended at 65-75lbs) I have to demand it be strung at 70lbs. This racket is the bomb and I would buy another like it if I could find one, but every Prince or Head racket I buy doesn't come close and I end up giving them away and use "old faithful".
PRINCE company, help me find a new racket or please make me a new Prince Power Pro 110. Bring back the best racket you ever made for intermediate players!!!
