Can you use your pool cue holder as a bridge?

in E-Grip / by Brandon
February 20, 2012

I had a customer come into the store just the other day and they mentioned that the E-Grip kind of looks like a Bridge for pool. So he asked me, “Could I use that E-Grip instead of a Bridge Stick?”. I had to think for a moment because the thought had not occurred to me before now. I looked at the shape of the E-Grip. I compared it to a Bridge that was sitting on a nearby cue holder. I thought “Why not?”. So later that evening, I decided to try it out and see if the E-Grip could be used as a bridge for pool.

First I set up a shot that would require a bridge to make properly. Then I set myself up over on the far end of the table. I placed my E-Grip upside-down on the table right where I would need a Bridge. After I lined up my shot, I did a few practice strokes. The rubber on the E-Grip allowed my cue to move smoothly, which was a happy surprise.

I lined up my ball, took my shot and made my ball in the pocket! And right after my shot I lifted the E-Grip up with my cue to take it cleanly off the table. Being aluminum, the E-Grip was easy to lift up and the hook-like ends meant there was no chance of accidentally dropping it back onto the table.

So there you have it; the E-Grip can indeed be used as a Bridge for playing pool. Not bad for a “pool cue holder”, huh? :)

How does the E-Grip compare to other pool cue holders?

Today we’re going to see how the E-Grip compares to the other pool cue holders on the market. As you may imagine, the E-Grip is the most secure way to hold your pool cue. Watch these other pool cue holders as we demonstrate how even the most popular holders on the market still leave your cue extremely vulnerable.
Be sure to head over to our Kickstarter project and become a backer of the E-Grip! You’ll be able to get one before anyone else! https://kck.st/z8iKpj

As you can see, the E-Grip is a much more secure kind of pool cue holder. The E-Grip can handle just about anything you can throw at it. Just in case you missed it, tf you’re looking to see some great slow-motion footage from a pool cue’s perspective, jump right to 1:08.

The E-Grip clamps to just about anything!

A lot of people have been inquiring about the E-Grip and how much space it takes up. Well, the short answer is, it takes up as much space as a standard pool cue case pocket. I purposely designed the E-Grip so that it can be easily transported inside a pool cue case. I kept getting frustrated when other cue holder products were either too big to fit in a bag or, worse yet, they compromised their design to become small enough. As you can see in this video, we hit the prefect spot with the E-Grip.

The device itself breaks down into two pieces that can be laid right on top of each other, thus saving space in the cue case. The E-Grip fits in most pool cue cases but, in the event that you have one with a very small pocket, we’ve got a solution for you as well. Simply thread the E-Grip through your cue case’s strap and lock the E-Grip to itself, creating a closed loop. This will keep the E-Grip safe and secure and it also ensures that you can’t forget to bring it with you next time you go out to play.

What if you show up to play pool and there’s no suitable table to clamp the E-Grip onto? Well, in that case, you can even clamp the E-Grip right onto the end of your cue case. Once you’ve done that and tightened it down appropriately, you can simply put your cue case on any nearby surface and it will give you a secure way to keep your cue upright, just like it was actually attached to a table. This is best demonstrated in the video, so be sure to watch it.

The E-Grip goes LIVE!

Hey there, Brandon Gramse here. You may know me from my pool playing tips videos that I post here on The Billiards Direct Blog. In addition to owning a billiards supply store in San Diego, I also spend time inventing new pool playing gear. Today I am releasing my newest device and it’s a big one; The E-Grip!

The E-Grip is a pool cue holder that is designed to keep your pool cue safe and secure whenever you’re not actively playing with it. In addition to it’s sturdy aluminum construction, the entire device is is wrapped in an impact-absorbing rubber so your cue won’t get dinged or nicked. The claw-like design of the E-Grip ensures that your cue can’t accidentally be knocked out; even an intentional kick won’t knock it to floor when it’s housed in the E-Grip.

I’m raising funds for this device through the crowd-funding platform, Kickstarter. You can be one of the very first owners of the E-Grip by going to this link and backing my project. I’ve also got a demonstration video on the Kickstarter page as well, so you can see the E-Grip in action!
