I have also suffered from rotator cuff injuries.  This has taken some time
to get over.  Just because you are in shape for one sport, doesn't mean you
are in shape for another.  You can even have a spur or growth in the
ball-socket joint that can get irritated...even if your shoulder muscles
are well toned.

It would be of great help to find some authority to refer to for shoulder
strengthing exercises applicaple to our sport.  John Sommers recommended
one such book.  At the time, I orded it from Amazon.com, but they later
informed me that the book was no longer available.

Can someone offer some recommendations and available references?  Anything
on the web?
