I know my Electric Brakes are 'grabby' when I first start using them on the trip. Here at the house I hook up and test safety lights and all then start leaving the housing area.
My trailer brakes are very 'grabby' doing the initial tests to see if they are working.
I have a full stop zone about 400-500 feet up the road after we start out still inside the housing area. I will use the manual slider for the trailer brakes to stop both and trailer at this stop sign...

I suspect this 'grabby' condition is due to accumulated moisture on the Brakes while sitting at the house a long time not being used.
A side note for my 4WD Jeep - This grabby situation reminds of the few times I replaced the clutch in the Jeep manual transmission. I always had this same 'grabby' condition and would pop a few heads until it wore-in and was smooth to use. I have on several occasions nosed up to a tree and slipped the clutch at high RPMs doing the so called burning-in of the clutch. Sure got a few strange looks from folks while I am trying to push this big tree over with my trusty ole Jeep haha... Smoked up the Jeep clutch pretty good doing this but the end result was always a smooth operating clutch after that. No telling how many miles of operations was removed from the clutch doing this haha...
