Title: Today I learned chain link fencing is not the perfect backstop

Putting your phone behind chain link fence and throwing tennis balls at the phone is NOT a good idea. Occasionally the ball goes right thru the fence!

Luckily my aim is terrible so I never hit my phone.

But got some neat video at least.

Ha yes! One of the most satisfying things in slinging - passing through or getting stuck.

You can get a baseball stuck in there if you really try at it, done that a couple times. And mayyyybe get it to pass through if you hit it perfectly in the center with a lot of power and perfect rifle spin. I've had a few that looked like they were almost ready to pop through to the other side.

The technical term for this is quantum tunneling.
