Can only relate my recent upgrade to putting.  These features have helped me greatly.

Light grip, thumbs down shaft.

Ball about in middle of stance, very slight forward hands.

See the best line, focus on point along line 6-8-10 inches forward.  Visualize ball rolling over that point, no other thought. Continue focus on point and line between ball and point.

Now, finally and only for a moment, look at the ball and take a slow and easy backstroke, strike ball in center with sweet spot of putter. Constant putter motion, no acceleration into ball.

No practice strokes.

As always, head steady.

Might help u, but your HC indicates a pretty good overall game, which must include on the green.  So it's not easy for me to understand exactly what you mean by 'consistent stroke'. Is your stroke changing between holes, even between putts on same green?  I maintain golf is combo of technique, skill and confidence.  If few, or none, of your 'makable' putts, 6-10 ft, or less, are getting in, one or more of those 3 factors is faulty.  Look to tension in hands and forearms and indecision in mind.

I am ok on the green and I am really trying to take my game to the next level and have an under par handicap. My weaknesses are consistent speed on the green and a putting stroke that is the same. I have glitches that just don't feel that smooth with causes at least 1 or 2 three putts a round. I want to eliminate it from my game.
