Summary

Universal Rackets says missing easy put-aways feels like a mental problem, but it actually comes down to three technical mistakes. A sitting duck should be the easiest point you win: a high ball, no pressure, nobody in your way.

Yet players miss it constantly, usually by trying to hit it too hard. Fix the mistakes and the sitter becomes an automatic point.
