  Comments:
I think the anonymous contributor is right, this seems by far the most common usage of "打ち所".

  Comments:
非の打ち所がない is (a) about 20 times more common, and (b) has a meaning which is not that obvious. 打ち所が悪い is not that common and unlikely to cause someone encountering it any trouble. I agree with Rene.

I meanT the first reference to be this:

打ち所が悪いと死ぬこともある. A blow to the wrong place [A misdirected blow] can be fatal.

It is on the same page but below.

I made the submission because the word 打ち所 is almost always paired with 悪い
except in the expression 非の打ち所がない

i'm inclined to omit this since the translation is obvious from the sum of its parts.  this is not a separate expression in any japanese dictionary or treated specially in gg5, prog, etc.

also, the first reference provided is just edict
