How to line up the shot while standing ??

So hopefully I can explained this well. So when u are lining up a shot I have seen some teach to line it up down the middle if ur body and then set up ur stance around the shot line. Then I have seen some who put there stick on the shot line so then ur standing slightly to the left(for a right handed player) of the shot line and set up around their stick. Is either way right or wrong ?? Are they both fundamentally acceptable ?? Just curious.
 
I am not an instructor
But what i would recommend
Is get your vision center behind the shot line
And then move your body stance to accommodate it
 
I usually start from the middle, but I’ve experimented with both and they seem to be equally effective. But after I line up in the middle, I do end up moving my feet to the left obviously because I’m right handed.
Once you have located the shot line, then you have a few choices as to how to proceed. My preference is to find the line first by standing directly over it, then immediately planting my back foot on the line. That becomes my reference point. Once I've done that, I can move my head off the line to plant my front foot and not worry about finding it again since my back foot is on it. Then I can lean over the line and position my head and arm over my back foot.

Another other option is to use your head as your reference point, leaving it over the line at all times as you position yourself. I find that kind of awkward, but some players like that.

Positioning your cue first is an option, but I think that too, can be a bit awkward.

Omg u understand exactly what I was asking TY. Yes the other 2 Methods u mentioned I have tried and are doable but yes they feel awkward. Ur method is easiest.
