I wouldn't use those plastic clips to hold my cue ever.

Go to a bar that uses those and look at the house cues. The cues eventually have distinct marks/indentations where they snap into those.

Cue Holder

This is a Maple one I made years ago, still works good but could use a refinish.

Been using them for years and I am yet to have a problem. Are you implying that the plastic is harder than the hard wood is in the shaft of a cue?

The marks on house cues are typically from the drunken morons hitting them on tables, dropping them or other things unrelated to pool and putting them in the holder.

OP, do you have some pictures of it actually attached and in different formations?

Issue I run into is that some tables are only a couple inches think and the standard ones you can buy work fine. But then other tables are too thick, have too small of a ledge or simply go against the design.

I was trying to think of a way to make one that is more configurable to different table types.

They didn't allow drinking or obvious drunks in my college rec center. The damage aligned perfectly with the plastic holders. It isn't that the plastic is harder, but it will wear the wood down.

But if it works for you, great.
