Basically a rake is a technique for picking up ground balls where you have the head of your stick on top of the ball, keeping the butt of the stick up towards you and in a raking motion (hence the name) pull the ball backwards and up into your stick. This method is not as effective as scooping through the ball because it takes more time and you can easily lose the ball if you are in a 1 on 1 or in a group fighting for the ball.

When you put the net of your stick over the ball and pulling it towards you, then putting the head on the ground so that the ball rolls into it.
