Putting dilemma or just a mental block?

Now I am a left eye dominant right handed player. I am pretty good at putting especially when practicing but more than I care to admit I lose the sight of the "line" in tournament play and tend to miss easy putts. Now this got me thinking and I finally drew a line to the basket and my natural instinct would be to line up my left leg on the line in a staggered stance. This would be an illegal stance since my right leg wouldnt be behind the lie and my left is too far behind the lie. If I line up my right foot to the target I pull the disc to the right quite often.

So when practicing I obviously dont use a mini and in a tournament play I have to line up in a way which is not comfortable to my eye sight. Could my theory be correct or just my mechanics messed up?
 
Use a mini when you practice. Throw it to a random spot and putt from there. Rinse. Repeat.
 
Or buy yourself an extra putter or two of the same type weight and color and never use a mini unless you are ob. You can either use them interchangeably or put a mark on one and use it exclusively for approaches.
 
I'd suggest trying to adjust your stance. Rotate your left foot a bit CCW for your mini stance.
 
Pay attention to your follow-through. If you are missing right a lot I am willing to bet your follow-through ends up right of the target. You might be able to keep your more comfortable stance and still take care of the problem by ensuring your follow-through points at the target.
