Best Answer

A grubber is a kick that is kicked almost completely along the ground. They are usually done by simply dropping the ball in front of the feet and kicking straight forward - not upward - before it hits the ground. They are used to get the ball through a line of players where any other form of kick might be charged down and/or the ballcarrier will be tackled.
