The Founder
Zvonimir Rezo
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.
The Player
In the Arena
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.

Life on the Court
More than just metrics and specs. It's about the community, the tournaments, and the love for the game.
Head Extreme One
2023 Model
Super lightweight to protect my arm after a bicep injury, but still packs serious power.

Footwork
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.

I'm not just a website owner, I'm on the court 2-3 times a week. If you're a partner, affiliate manager, or just a fan passing through, I'd love to host you for a match at my local club.
