I use the alignment mark on my putter to reach a spot on the line between myself and the hole. After reading the line I find a spot as close to the ball as possible to putt at, or sometimes I need to be within a 1/2 inch, or what ever, of that spot.

The trick for me is to find my line, get a feel for the distance, pick the spot and then let her go without too much undo thinking. My putting has been very good so far this year.

I read an article in Golf Digest once where Dave Stockton said he used this exact method for putting. He would find a spot an inch or so in-front of the ball and if his ball rolled over that spot he knew if he made the putt.
