“Every since I was a young kid, I loved team sports. To me, the accomplishments feel greater when an individual is part of something greater than himself. A good team has the ability to feed off one another’s energy, then multiply it with the crowd’s excitement. The sweet sound of a home run swing in baseball wouldn’t be complete if it didn’t have the erupting boom of your team and fans cheering reaction. In a brilliant move by forward-thinking CueSports International (CSI), The Team CSI American Grand Masters was created, which will amplify four pool superstars’ personalities, talents, and passions through a dynamic team mash-up of spirit, heart, and priceless entertainment value.” - Jerry Tarantola/NYCgrind.com

“Mark Griffin and I had the same idea and concept for some time now and finally decided we needed to join forces to make this concept become a reality. I feel honored to be brought on board to manage the American Grand Masters team and to work with CueSports International. Mark Griffin does so much for pool and billiards, for both professionals and amateurs alike. Knowing this team has the backing from someone who has so much dedication and willingness to work hard to improve the sport and having the infrastructure of his team at CSI makes me excited at the tremendous possibilities the future of this team holds,” said Cantrill.

Great video work as usual and you managed to coach Earl to seem somewhat a normal person. He’s great to watch but he’s schizo, he cussed my girlfriend out at the Us open and she was just talking to him.
