Well, path is your ability to maintain a perfect triangle in your shoulders / arms and hands. Lock and load. Never change that setup.

Alignment is essential to have your eyes directly over the ball. So setup, and drop a ball from the bridge of your nose. That ball should hit your ball.

Pendulums will always stay at one tempo, no matter the length it swings. The length of the string (or head to fulcrum) dictates the length. So learn your tempo. It's your personal natural one...making sure that never changes is one of the first steps to great consistancy.

Then it is all about a good read of line vs. pace. I find that your first guess is the best one. Reading a putt from every angle, addressing it and reading it again from there is going to make anyone second guess. So don't. Take your read, pick that spot to putt over, and forget about the hole in terms of line. Setup and putt it over that spot. Period. All you should be thinking once you setup is the pace, making sure you are at the correct length of your pendulum's length back and through. Take 3 sequential practice strokes not stopping the back-and-forth at your guessed distance, feeling no tention and all, the tick-tock of the motions and that is the absolute more important piece in your head...getting it the right distance.
