With practice

Yep a good tip mentioned here is look out of the window, after having selected your landing point. A good set and balanced approach should, in general, lead to a good landing. i.e. at 500' trim set, speed set, landing point selected. In most training aeroplanes they should fly in, on approaching your landing point, look out to the end of the runway, use peripheral vision to check position, and flare/power off when a few feet off, still looking out along the runway. I found, particularly in tail draggers that looking ''in'' never works, looking out all the time is the way to hone your landing ability.

You mention 'fighting' the aeroplane? Unless very gusty, croswind etc, you should not have to fight an aeroplane in landing phase.
