I've done similar this year. No line on the ball anymore, which caused me to focus too much on exact stroke and starting line.

Purely focused on pace now, with a more instinctive stroke on lag putts. If you get the pace right then you're rarely more than 3 foot away. Massively improved putting recently.
Spot on this. I work out if it's going left or right or pretty much straight but don't aim too far wide on the long ones - get the pace right and you'll never be far away. My putting has come on leaps and bounds with this mentality, used to 3 putt four times a round maybe, now it's more like once if I had a particularly long, tricky one to start with.
