Innovative Test Solutions recently tested the strength properties of several different types of Baseball netting. Check out the article linked below. 

Before the screens went up, though, the netting was tested at Innovative Test Solutions, a third-party engineering laboratory in Schenectady, New York.

“We often do aeronautical testing, like critical engine parts. So this was a fun change of pace.”

Lou Fiorini, Director of Operations
