I'm a pretty good putter from 15 feet and in. And usually I take a look at the line from behind the ball to find breaks and a target, I then go to the ball and address my putter and 'see' the line from the target to the line on my putter (I use a Ping Redwood Anser).

I putt and am very happy with the outcome most of the time.

Lately I've been trying to build a different routine in because I can't 'see' the line very well for those lag putts. I try to use the putting line on the ball to line up with my line on the green.

But every single time I addressed the ball during my rounds this past weekend, I couldn't trust the line on the ball. Each time I would readust my address position and putter line. The results were consistently right of target(for long putts). On the 15 yards or less, I lined the ball up, trusted it, and was off on my putts as well - it just didn't feel good. So I couldn't trust the line on the ball.

I threw the concept out the window after some horrible putting and just went by eyesight again. I was fine 15 yards or less.

But... I need help finding that line during lag putting. For some reason I can't 'see' it as well and thought lining up the ball would help.

Any tips on either lining up the ball for lag putts? I mean, if I can line up the ball correctly and trust it I'll walk up and hit it. I just can't seem to line the balls line with the line I actually see.
