A pool cue holder is a device for securely storing pool cues, while simultaneously keeping them ready for use at a moment’s notice.

Let’s review a typical scenario for a pool shooter and we’ll see which type of cue stick holder is best for each situation.

Why A Use Pool Cue Holder?

Pool shooters often utilizes multiple pool cue types during a game, depending on the arrangement of balls on the table.

A pool shooter needs all of their cues to be easily accessible, while still keeping their cues from getting in the way of the game itself.

Pool cue holders let you keep your cues in a “ready-to-use” condition, while still keeping them out of harm’s way.

Wall Mounted Cue Racks

Not surprisingly, wall mounted cue racks are cue holders which are mounted directly to a wall.

Cues placed into a wall-mounted cue rack are safely stored, and ready for use whenever a pool shooter needs.

A free-standing cue rack is a holder for pool cues which stands on the floor.

Free-standing cue racks allow for greater flexibility of placement compared to wall-mounted racks.

Wall mounted cue racks and free standing cue racks are great for home use, but some pool shooters may prefer a portable pool cue holder.

Portable pool cue holders are small enough to store in a pocket of your cue case.

A pool cue holder that is portable means it can be used on most solid surfaces, such as ledges at pool halls.
