The Gripper Pocket Marker is made of the same unique compound formula as the Gripper Caddy. We intended the Gripper Pocket Marker to be just that (a Pocket Marker). However, we find our customers using it as a marker when practicing position play. Also, our One Pocket players have enjoyed its usefulness in keeping coins (scratch markers) from being overlooked during play. Gripper by Bauer's Gripper Caddy was originally designed in 1994 as a device to provide protection for billiard cues. Thousands have been sold around the world to amateurs and professionals alike. The unique design and patented formula (rubber like composition) provides for the most accepted concept of protection the industry has ever known.
