i dont know what method you are talking about but i have got my own routine which works fine for me.
1/ stand behind the ball and try to pick out the line to the hole
2/ address the ball and look to set the putter on the line you have seen
3/now concentrate on the first six inches of the line and do not be tempted to keep looking at the hole.
4/trust your feel and hit the ball.
this routine has worked great for me .I strike the ball much better which makes me much more consistant.
