I'm just going to stop repeating myself in this thread, I've said the same thing about 80 times now.

A good putt takes 3 things. 1, a good solid stroke with the face aligned. 2, good pace, or length of stroke. 3, proper aim.

What step are you skipping?
You're fulfilling number 3 (hopefully) by aligning the line on your ball with the intended line of your putt. You're still taking that step, just in a different way.
In my case, I'm aligning my putter with the line through the ball. I don't care if I can see the logo, the alignment line, the number, my ID mark, etc on the ball. My putter has the three lines that tell me the ball is centered on the sweet spot and the head is perpendicular to the line I want to send the ball along. After that the ball doesn't matter, it's like it isn't even there.
Your way works for you, which is great. In fact I recommend it for anyone who cannot visualize the line and "see" their putter alignment from the putting stance. Putting is probably the most individualized part of the game in regards to how it should be done. I would never suppose to tell someone they had to do it my way, from alignment to follow-through, and I would never take advice on putting from anyone who claimed their way was the best.
