A holder which is especially adapted for use with pool cues comprises first, second, third and fourth fastener strips made of hook and loop (e.g., Velcro TM brand) fastener strips joined in interlocking fashion. Each strip has an adhesive side and a fastener side, and the strips are attached to each other in interlocking fashion using the adhesive side of each strip. Accordingly, the holder is in a T-shaped configuration, and the first and second fastener strips are disposed generally parallel to each other and are generally perpendicular to both the third and fourth fastener strips. Additionally, parallel strips have opposite type fasteners (i.e., one strip has hook-type fasteners and the other has loop-type fasteners). In operation, a fifth fastener strip is adhesively attached to a stable surface. One of the fastener strips of the holder is then attached to the fifth fastener strip. Two remaining strips of the holder are then wrapped around the pool cue, such that opposite ends of the two strips may be fastened to each other. Accordingly, the pool cue is surrounded in two dimensions and is firmly held to the stable surface. Advantageously, the pool cue holder securely holds the pool cue to a stable surface, does not require modification of the pool cue, and is of simple construction and thus may be inexpensively produced. The pool cue holder also provides a location for attachment to a pool cue carrying case.
