George,
Thanks for the kind words! I like the Phantom sleeves – have been throwing with them as part of a weighted ball and sleeve program that I developed this offseason. The hitters who I have let use the forearm sleeves have said that they liked them and felt like the got a good workout from them. I think they’re a neat product and worth trying.

As for your arm, I’m not sure being angry would cause a rotator cuff tear. Sure, tensing up in anger could have had something to do with it, but it’s really hard to say. I think arm circles can have a lot of beneficial effects – Alan Jaeger swears by them and the motion seems to be good for the shoulder. I have a pretty neat ABC circuit that I am posting tonight or tomorrow that is great stability work for the front of the shoulder and, to a lesser degree, the rotator cuff. Check it out, and thanks so much for your comments! I’m looking forward to a healthy, productive, hard-throwing summer.

Not a whole lot, yet, but I’m preparing a big velocity development program for my own personal goals this fall. After at least 2 months off I’m going to throw out the stops and try to get into the mid-90s. These are going to be a part of my work, no doubt.

Here’s a cheater trick for you: to slip into the sleeves easier, place any plastic grocery bag on your hand going up to the middle of your forearm. Now slide your arm into the weighted sleeves. You should be able to use that glide to bring the sleeve all the way up into it’s correct position. Then remove the plastic bag by grabbing and pulling with your off hand. Should pull right out! Now you’re ready to play!
