I've been doing the excercises. I have 10lb dumbells, which feels really light to me. I plan to get some 5 pounders though. I must admit I never thought to work the rotators more. I've also been doing some stretching (actually more stretching, as I usually do a little stretching). It'll take me a while to get a solid routine worked in with job, golf, chorse and the rest. I also have a Scwinn AirDyne excercise bike (one I can work with the arms f I want to).
On the course today, I took some swings with the arms in front of me to the extreme, and got he right arm pain again. I'm in a bit of a flux on this. I plan to go to Atlanta and visit y'all in a few months.
I should add that I have remarkably little power (golfwise) for my size and strength (and my swing isn't really bad, probably not great!). I've been playing since I was a kid and play 200+ rounds per year.

I am not implying that they are defective but may still be disfunctional due to lack of flex, lack of strength or simply lack of a functional agreement due to other postural issues.
Have you been doing the exercises? It sounds like we need to advance to some deltoid training which can be accomplished with simple bands and isometrics.
Please let me know about your training and I'll get back with you after I experiment a little off the tee. I think I'll get it more clearly after I fatigue my swing.
