A pool stick hanging device comprising:
- a first bracket assembly being adapted to be suspended from a structure and including first and second pivotal stick engagement members adapted to engage a first end of a pool stick;
- and
- a second bracket assembly being adapted to engage a second end of pool stick and including third and fourth pivotal stick engagement members;
- wherein said first bracket assembly includes a first bracket member having side members being spaced apart, said first bracket member also having cross members being attached to said side members and extending therebetween, said first and second pivotal stick engagement members being pivotally mounted to a respective one of said cross members;
- whereby the user may engage the first end of the pool stick between said first and second pivotal stick engagement members, whereby the user may engage the first end of the pool stick between said first and second pivotal stick engagement members, suspending the pool stick from the structure while the second end of the pool stick is engaged between the third and fourth pivotal stick engagement members.
