I rarely take a practice stroke anymore , Im just trying to see the hole in my mind ... some days are better than others !
It seems that your trying to have a mentally created picture in your head as you perform an action. Anytime your consciousness is focused internally, you are in a dream state which detracts you from using the senses. You want instead to be in a state which many people call being present.

Internal processes are great for making judgements/predictions but have no place when performing actions. Actions call for awareness.

With regard to "take the picture, putt to the picture", this is half correct. The picture is judgement call before the shot which is important for line but there also has to be a mentally created kinesthetic feeling of the lag pressure. You need both elements. Once you have the judgement, the memory is encapsulated and stored just like a real memory. Now, you have to change your focus back to your senses and be a witness to your actions.
