Clubface will control at least 85% of the starting direction of a putt. Since there is no flight, slice/hook don't really apply. Path could put a very small amount of spin axis on a putt causing it to not roll end-over-end, but if putts are not starting online, check aim first, then face at impact. Many times, in putting, if the path is off, it can be corrected by face awareness. I think I might have a youtube video showing the face/path relationship in putting. Should be on my channel (rstocke). If not, I'll try to get it posted.
Heel shots with putters tend to move the ball left (RH player), and toe shots right - which is different from full swing.
Since the goal of a putt is to roll the ball straight along a line, end over end, a square face and 0 path at impact is preferred.
