Item 1. under misnomers is misleading. It seems to state that clubhead path isn't important. But, an outside in swing can cause a sideways spin on the ball and therfore cause it to slice.

by Chuck Evans
As stated, the clubHEAD path does NOT control the initial direction of the golf ball. That is a function of the clubFACE. An "outisde-in" stroke does NOT cause a slice. You can swing along that path all day and IF the clubface is square to that path when the ball leaves the face then it is simply a pull.
The important thing to remember is that the ball will ALWAYS leave the clubface at practically a right angle to the leading edge.

Whenever I "feel the ball in my hands" I get a great shot. It helps me at 64 years old to choke down a little on the club and take a nine-iron instead of a full wegde. Still a long ball hitter, it is humbling to back off, but the birdies keep on rolling in!

How do I practice controling my left wrist at impact?

by Chuck Evans
I will re-state. Clubhead path DOES NOT control the initial direction of the golf ball. The ball will ALWAYS leave the clubface at 90 degrees to the leading edge. A slice is NOT caused by swinging "out to in." You can swing out to in and have the clubface pointed to the right and THAT is where the ball will start NOT on the direction the club is swinging.
To control the clubface via the left hand it must be trained to execute whatever action you want the club face to do.
1. Layback
2. Close
3. Close and Layback
Each of these motions produce different trajectories but all give straight away flight. If you are slicing the ball then you have a couple of things to look at.
1. Ball position - too far back and the club cannot close quickly enough.
2. Hand speed - slow hands play it more forward, fast hands play the ball farther back.
3. Faulty clubface motion - usually an under roll of the whatever Hinge Action you have chosen to use.
Whatever you decide to do make sure that at Low Point - the left shoulder - the clubface is at a right angle to the target line. Heck you may even feel like the back of your left hand is facing the ground at Impact. But if it where then you would hit nothing but low duck hooks!
