if you want a lighter racket then try the EXO graphite 100. the stick is a full ounce lighter. there are plenty of these floating around even though they have been discontinued. i'm not a big fan of the POG tour version. most of the POG's i have are either the grommetless version ( which is very hard to find) and the four stripe version. i got rid of the original leather grips on all the rackets and replaced them with the prince resi pro grip. gives the old faithfuls are new look. and of course, hybrid strings. 17G multi filaments on the cross and poly on the mains. the rackets power is toned town but still has the punch when needed.
i was however disappointed with the 2012 lineup. no graphite of any kind. the POG is a racket that should stay in the prince lineup. just like the ford mustang.
perhaps some strength training should be added to your regimen if you plan on staying with your POG. just a thought.
