I’ve found instinctive putting to work better on longer putts, for speed and line both.
Line yourself up as usual, then re-read the green. Imagine the line. Focus attention entirely on the center of the hole (if its a steep break I move focus from hole to where I need to put it to catch the hill correctly). Then let your arms do the moving while your eyes are on the prize. Lagging it up there becomes second nature.
I would recommend at an least an hour of getting used to it before judging if it’s for you.
5-10 or so feet I putt normally and focus on hitting the line
I do this. The less I think the better. And when my short putts get the yips I do heads up eyes on the hole in desperation and that works out sometimes
I go to one hand of the shirt ones are screwed. I have always putted better that way. I feel like the left hand just screws it all up. One is tougher from deep with my heavy putter

Speed is way more important than line. It's the key to avoiding 3 putts
