BreakRAK and TAR Join Team CSI

BreakRAK, LLC and The Action Report (TAR) are joining Team CSI as team sponsors. BreakRAK is the manufacturer of the premier break training tool BreakRAK and TAR is the leader in online cue sport promotions and live streaming.

Team CSI – American Grand Masters is a roster of accomplished talent with Charlie “Hillbilly” Bryant, Corey Deuel, John “Mr. 400” Schmidt and Earl “The Pearl” Strickland. The goal of Team CSI is to pursue advancing the sport via exhibitions and group lessons. Members of the team are also player representatives for CSI in national and international events.

Mark Cantrill, who produced the highly successful Legends and Champions Tour, is the Team CSI manager. The Legends and Champions Tour held 47 exhibitions and group lessons across the U.S. in 2008 – 2009. Using the Legends and Champions Tour model, which Cantrill initiated and nurtured, Team CSI now takes it to another level. Combining forces with CSI and also now BreakRAK and TAR, the team will be able to grow and offer more to the community and expand the team members’ opportunities as players.

“BreakRAK and TAR are both innovators in their respective specialties. We are very proud they are joining us in support of Team CSI who has also proven to be an innovator in the industry.”  - Mark Cantrill, Manager Team CSI

As the group at BreakRAK knows, great breaks are developed - they do not happen by accident. Accuracy, rhythm, coordination and speed are imperative in a well executed break. Founded in 2002 by Charley Bond, the BreakRAK allows a more efficient and effective way to break train helping players take their game to a higher level. The BreakRAK is used in well respected training schools and utilized by numerous instructors all over the U.S.

“Doing business with CSI and TAR is a true pleasure. CSI is a class organization and it will be wonderful having these great players use the BreakRAK.”  - Charley Bond (Owner BreakRAK, LLC)

The Action Report (TAR) exploded on the pool scene just a few short years ago. TAR has brought professional cue sport online streaming to a new level. To date TAR has streamed 16 events with over $400,000 in prize money.

Starting off with high dollar challenge matches with such notable names as Efren Reyes, Shane Van Boening, John Schmidt, Francisco Bustamante, Darren Appleton, Chris Bartram, Dennis Hatch, and Alex Pagulayan, TAR has grown over the past two years to include more industry and special events including the International Cue Collectors Show.
