Hi everyone. I found a vintage Head racket, which has Impulse and Edge series on it. Wondering if anyone has more information about it. Please click the photo to check the picture

Going to bet that’s a euro model made in Austria.
It is an 18* 20 pattern and small head size (guess 90?)
Here are more pictures if that could help

Yes, European release, made in Austria, virca 1986. “Edge” mold (standard head +20% or 82 sq-in; box beam). Probably mostly fiberglass composition. Fun to play tennis with, minty flavor and surprisingly low in calories.

The Impulse has been added to the list of Edges!
I have to say it has identical markings to the Hot Edge (and various others), including the 'besonders armshoenung' and the 'Kontrolleur' sticker. I have always believed the Hot was made in Taiwan because it doesn't say Austria on the silver butt-cap, so I would guess the Impulse is too. I understood that the Taiwan factory included the German markings for consistency. But I'm not sure. Is there some evidence this was an Austrian model I've missed? The weight should also be about 342g strung, rather than 356g?
