Are you so focused on the ball while your getting ready to put that the tension of being ball bound paralyzes you?  If you tend to stare at the ball when putting and tension builds, try this little trick.  Instead of looking at the ball, look at the spot just one inch in front of your ball on your intended line.  Keep your eyes focused on the spot and stroke the ball so you watch the ball roll over your spot and then your putter chasing it.  This will not only break the tension of being ball-bound, but it helps you start the ball on the correct line every time.  Many top players use this method as their everyday routine.
