No. No. No.
Never go to mass market consumer stores for advice. Go to tiny places that specialize and know their shit inside out.
For this, and all racquet needs, you must consult Tad or Tad's son at Tad's Sporting Goods at Granville/70th. Tad is a former Canadian mixed doubles tennis champion, and his son is now taking over the business, which has been there for eons.

Go there, and they'll ask you to swing for them, and right away they'll tell you what type of racquet you need.
As well, you can borrow from a rack of demos and get a feel for which one works for you.
Finally, there are also lots of used racquets there - many of which are top notch at great prices.
