From my research, I have found that bigger head = larger sweet spot = better for beginner. Is that accurate? I'm not trying to go all Andy Roddick with my serves. My main goal is something that will give me a better shot at hitting good volleys

Yeah, you just don't want to be starting out with a Wilson Pro Staff 85 or 90 sq in. Those sticks are great for people with lots of experience and power who want control and feel. 100 sq in is good to start out. I'd bet 90% of the racquets now are in that 95-100 sq in range. Federer was one of the last pros using a smaller head, and even he has changed, so the 90 sq in is going to become a dinosaur IMO.
