I took a putting lesson a while back that had a similar strategy. He told me to use my right shoe. A two-step putt was half way to the big toe. Four steps was to the toe. Six to the middle of the shoe. Eight to the right edge. Ten about a ball outside right. Twelve? That's 30 feet, so you're back to feel. The key is to keep the tempo constant.
Your distances might vary. If I play a course with speedy greens, eight steps might be to the middle of the shoe. It's very rarely more than one level off either way though.
It made me a better putter, but certainly not a great putter.
