Squaring the putter face to your intended target line at impact has the greatest impact on the ultimate accuracy of the putt you’re going to make (assuming you’ve chosen the right target line).
Your putter could be a ‘friend’ (helping you square the face) or a ‘foe’ (making it more difficult for you to square your face) depending on your putting stroke and the balance of the putter.
Two very similar putters, with almost identical offset and shaft locations. The Prime Tyne 4 is best for those with a strong arc while the Tyne G will make life easier for someone with a straight-back-and-through stroke.

A putter doesn’t have to be large to offer support to alignment.
Making sure it has a design that supports your stroke is the first step. But then it’s about the visual cues that you prefer.
The PING Anser 2 has heel-toe weighting to add stability and forgiveness, but the ball-width cavity, sighting down the shaft and hosel, and clean geometry all make it easier to square the face through impact.

Now, if we match this putter to a golfer with a slight arc to their putting stroke, we should see more putts traveling down the intended line. If that could help your game, please
The Tomcat 14 Putter has the highest MOI amongst PING’s newer putters. That means, if you do square the face but miss the sweet spot, the putter will be less likely to twist. Your putt has a better chance of staying on your target line.

The runway dots are set a ball apart with geometry and lines helping you to set up perfectly square to target. Match this putter to someone with a straight back and through putting stroke and that golfer will have a much better chance of sinking any putt. Is that your putting stroke? Would you benefit?
I suspect that most golfers looking down at the PING Ally Blue would imagine this putter suits those with a more straight-back-and-through putting stroke. But, if you know how to check for toe hang angle, you’ll see that this putter is designed for those with a stronger arc in their stroke.

A lighter-weight aluminum body and hosel combined with a 304 stainless-steel sole plate, helps to make this a highly forgiving putter. Would that combination of forgiveness and design for a stronger arc, help you roll more putts closer with more dropping first time?
Where does your putting performance need more magic dust? Do you struggle with speed control and why? Are you set up well at address but then struggle to hit the target?
