I do most of my putting drills with my eyes closed. I had a few students that swing at the ball when putting instead of having a nice fluid motion THROUGH the ball. I get them to close their eyes and make a pendulum motion back and forth. After about their 5th or 6th swing, I'll place a ball in their swing path and they are always very surprised how different it feels. If you have a problem decelerating after you hit the ball, have a friend help you out by putting a ball down for you randomly so you can get the feeling of swinging through the ball.

Also, you can set balls up parallel to your target line just outside your heel and toe of your putter (about 4 balls on each side). Hit some putts towards the target. If you hit the balls that are parallel, they will move letting you know you were coming inside or outside.
