What is a CUCHILLA at padel ?

Au padel, there are terms / words / expressions of its own. We will focus on the CUCHILLA.

The Cuchilla is a smash from the bottom of the court after the ball hit the bay window.

A shot far from obvious because the smash can take the direction of the net or pierce the wall of the bottom. The other problem with this move: If it is not played enough from top to bottom giving the ball a cut effect, the ball may bounce too much to allow the opponents to counter.
