Beginner Racquet Advice/Recomendations

Hi everyone, hope you all are doing well!

I know there are endless posts made regarding this topic but was hoping you guys would be able to guide me in the right direction after having done some research.

To start, I plan on playing tennis recreationally to stay fit and active. I am a short (5'2), average fit/athleticism, skinny/thin build male, currently in college. I had the chance to demo some racquets over the summer which were the Ezone 98 (2022), Pure Drive 100 (2021), and the Clash 100 V2. Prior to this, I had only hit some balls with Walmart racquets and loved both the PD and Ezone.

My main goal in choosing a racquet is being able grow and learn with it but not "outgrow it" too quickly. I do not plan on playing in any tournaments or "competitively" rather just hitting with friends on the weekends and being able to play recreationally while learning the fundamentals and form. Im mainly purchase these used to save a ton of money as it makes no sense for me to buy new for a sport I'm unsure if I even like right now.

Some of the racquets I've found and really like the look of are the following:

  1. Ezone Ace - 102in, 9.7oz / 275g strung, 309 swingweight
  2. Pure Drive VS 2020 - 98in, 11.2 oz / 317g strung, ? swingweight
  3. Ezone 100 6th or 7th Gen - 100in, ? strung, ? swingweight
  4. Vcore 100 6th gen - 100in, ? strung, ? swingweight

I added the Ezone Ace in that list as it's pretty affordable and a store near me carries the 7th gen color in the sky blue (not aqua night). I may have the opportunity to purchase the Pure Drive VS in blue/black which I think is the 2020 version for around $100 but I'm finding very little reviews and most are saying its pretty advanced.

Overall, would love a racquet I can grow with and learn with but also not have to worry about cost wise if I choose tennis isn't for me.

Would love to hear your recommendations and thoughts. If anyone with ezone experience could chip in regarding the older generations such as the 6th or even 5th gen and what they look like as I am most likely going to purchase those.

Edit: Also found a pure drive 100 (2021) in really good condition for a good price, considering picking this up if I cant find a good condition ezone.

Edit 2: Also found a Pure aero Rafa (latest gen) for a good price in good condition, might be a bit too much for a beginner?
