Building for the Community

From frustration to a better way.

Hi, I'm Zvonimir. I'm a software engineer and a massive padel addict based right here in Zagreb.

I built Padel Finder because I was tired of opening 20 tabs just to compare racket prices. Padel gear is expensive, and buying the wrong racket can ruin your game (and your elbow).

I wanted to create a place where players could get honest data, not just marketing hype.

I don't just code.
I play.

I currently compete for Padel Embassy in Zagreb and play in the Croatian National League.

After playing for over 5 years, I've broken my fair share of rackets and played in countless tournaments.

I test the gear I recommend. When I talk about "sweet spots" or "balance", it's because I've felt it on the court, not because I read a spec sheet.

My goal is to help you find the gear that actually fits your playstyle, whether you're a power smash player or a control specialist.

More than just metrics and specs. It's about the community, the tournaments, and the love for the game.

Struggled with shoes for a long time until I found the Nike Vapor 12. Very light and comfortable, plus they look great.
Also used by Carlos Alcaraz which makes them even cooler.
