So today I broke my third Pro-Staff 6.1... for some reason, when I come down on my serve, I sometimes hit the racquet on the court and end up cracking the frame near the crown (top of the head).
That's fairly irrelevant to my question, though. When wooden racquets were used on tour, did they break fairly frequently? I'm trying to determine whether the modern composite material breaks more easily upon impact than wood.

It is unlikely. Although today's racquets are much stronger, when wooden racquets were used, power was not so much of an issue in tennis. The weight of the wooden racquets, combined with the reletively slack stringing, simply wouldn't allow players to hit with the impact they do today.

They seem very similar spec wise. However the Prince does have a slightly larger sweet spot but it is also slightly heavier. The Prince also has the speedholes which some people like and some don't. The Yonex has a more classic feel to it. They both seem very similar so your best option is to try them out from a store and pick the one which feels the best to you.

yes of course, wood cannot take so much pressure so its better to get one that is made in graphite
