toe poke
Soccer scramble shot
A toe poke is a kick made with the tip of the foot rather than the instep or laces—quick but imprecise.
In soccer, it's often a desperate or opportunistic jab at the ball: He managed a toe poke past the goalkeeper.
The technique sacrifices power and accuracy for speed, useful when there's no time for a proper strike.
