Yeah, there is a lot of technique involved. I am usually very good at everything sports related, but this is a challenge also for me.

What made me better and what is my best suggestion is to you is to take 2 - 3 lessons from instructor. It is not that expensive. And then just play and play on your own until you are angry and sick.

To be good at it you have to play it a lot. Kids that become pro play 4 hours a day every day. I am happy to get like 2-3 hours a week in summer.
