For flutter kick you want to ensure that you are kicking from the hip rather than the knee.
A good way to ensure you kick from the hip is to kick with your knees relatively straight with little bend in the knee. This engages the upper portion of the leg ensuring that you do not create drag in the water for your front or back crawl.
To focus on driving your kick from the hip versus the knee, engage the glutes when driving the kick back.
