Triggers to start the golf swing?

[nomullies]

^^^ that’s like my driver trigger / swing, except I start with a hover behind the ball, then move the club fully past the ball a foot, then start my backswing. My goal is to return the club that spot a foot past the tee.

I think you've mentioned this before. A buddy did this same move very successfully. Just wondering if it's a legal move. Kind of like a pitcher in baseball needing to come to a stop before starting the pitch (Gausman). Once moving forward can you move backward?

I've never seen a golfer called for a balk?

^^^ my guess is yes. I'm sure some hover'rs of the club could have a very small clubhead move forward ( no even knowing it ) before going back, and would have been called out by the tour if that was the case

VO: Yes, my real swing / trigger is this move.

Recall that Moe Norman set his club well behind the ball. This kept him from snatching the club upward to soon, and gave him an extended take-away. My move does the same for me. By starting the back-swing past the ball, my arms are already extended and stay that way -> I take them back on an arc and try to return. Plus it gives me some rhythm from the start. It might look a little odd, but whatever works.
