The phrase "a more direct technique" is correct and usable in written English.
You can use it when comparing different methods or approaches, indicating that one is less indirect or more straightforward than another.

Alternatives: "a more straightforward method" or "a more immediate approach."
There are moments where exquisiteness is held at bay by a more direct technique; one example is the covered dish by the 18th-century potter Ogata Kenzan, its exterior painted with a loose tangle of grasses, its interior with sketches of distant mountains.

Although the method localizes only actively calling animals, the fly-on-the-wall approach complements more direct techniques for studying whales, particularly in areas that are hard to reach, says oceanographer Aaron Thode of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in San Diego, California.
Using bushmeat marketplaces to monitor the status of hunted species (see Rowcliffe et al., 2003, Juste et al., 1995, Fa et al., 2003) circumvents many of the resource limitations of other, more direct techniques; however, it is also dependent on all species of concern making it to market.
Further testing employing more direct techniques such as real time PCR or other expression profiles approaches are still required to test the hypothesis that L. infantum chagasi is altering the expression of specific gut transcripts from the sand fly Lutzomyia longipalpis.
Although this hypothesis requires confirmation using more direct techniques, for example, Golgi staining and the quantitative assessment of dendritic spine density in LI and HI rats, it is noteworthy that the stimulant drug cocaine increases dendritic spine density, especially in the NAcbC 70, 71.
The carefully modulated tones and colours he used in those earlier works gave way to a more direct, even bolder technique about 1670.
However as the assays targeted different exons, the presence of a pseudogene excluded a more direct comparison of the techniques.
