Technique

Hi Guys,

Love your site. I have a question about 'style'. People often tell me my style (strokes/technique) is not correct, that I use my arm too much instead of my elbow etc. My arm movements should be shorter and quicker.... I'm not a high level player and I'm in my late 40's. I learned to play in high school and then didn't play again until my late 30's, playing on and off since then. I can do all the basic shots reasonably well. It's hard for me to visualise what I'm doing wrong and although I've been told and shown many times how to, I still can't correct my play. Is it a case of you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Should I just play my game the best I can or should I focus on correcting my technique at this late stage?
