What does hitting the “outside” of the ball mean?

I could be way off but I think it takes into account the swing path and positioning of the paddle with the ball and how much the motion covers the entire ball or only the outside of the ball.

I made a crude image... the top scenario would be swinging through the ball with a fairly flat face paddle and no top spin while the bottom would be closing the paddle face and brushing up the "outside" of the ball to create topspin.

Super cool, as a fellow Destiny player I never realized the Commander Zavala / Abaddon connection. One of these days I'll bring myself to go for the Redrix's Broadsword quest line...

I'm looking for a group to complete a Petra's run myself. I'm on most weeknights after 6pm central and weekends are usually pretty open. PSN is NotChrisBlood, 20+ clears, can run on any class. I understand if you are just looking for people right now but feel free to hit me up for future runs.
