Kicking rhythm?

Can someone explain to me the differences in the Kicking Rhythms? I feel that my kick is not consistent and is really holding me back. I feel like w the pull buoy I can swim all day but once I add in the kick I tire a lot quicker. Maybe this is common for everyone.

    One of the most exciting break throughs in locking in to the idea of holding water and achieving a great catch/pull through is creating torque through your core to resist against with a properly timed kick. Oh, I hear you, but this feeling is so elusive and fleeting for me. If only I could hold on to it. But I get tired or something distracts me (like a flip turn) and in a second it is all gone. I am working on it, though... everyday, or at least every time I have a chance to get into the pool but I am working against 40 years of bad habits and I know it is going to take some time. Any ideas/thoughts on how to hold on to that feeling would be so appreciated.
