I broke down my stance years back and did what you are saying for a few years. Put the stick on the exact shot line, then put my body in the right place, then bent down. I had figured out where my feet went relative to the stick, where to hold the stick when I was placing the stick on the table, etc. It took trial and error to get it all nailed down and seamless. I played that way for maybe 5 years, I forget now.
Something happened and I kind of grew out of it, and just started approaching the shot like "normal". I've been playing this way now for maybe the last 5 years. Occasionally, I won't see the shot right today, and I'll revert to the stick on the table method. Sometimes it helps me line up if I'm just having trouble with a particular sighting and angle.
In all versions of my stance/alignment/psr, I always sucked
