Such speeds subject the rotator cuff and the stabilizing structures of the shoulder, such as the glenoid labrum, to major loads. Once these structures are injured, a complete return to the previous level of function may be difficult. Here is an interesting biomechanical analysis of the form of some of the top men players.
