Starting the Golf Swing From a Dead Stop Is Making It Harder Than It Needs to Be! Golf is hard partly because the ball isn't moving... and starting from a dead standstill makes it harder. The trail knee kick is one of the oldest swing triggers in the game, and it works. Kick the knee in, feel a little pressure move into the lead foot, then start the backswing from that flow instead of from nothing. The old-timers used it for a reason. It creates rhythm before the swing begins... and rhythm is a lot easier to repeat than a static start.
