Been brainstorming with so many cup holder vs no cup holder debates. I have seen and used slide under cup holders which allows users the flexibility of putting the cup holder pretty much anywhere they want.
What I think are downsides:
1. Drink is on the table, closer to the felt and takes up playing surface real-estate
2. The "tab" that slides under the rail means there needs to be some space under the rail. When I deal, I pitch cards pretty hard which can slide under the rail.
So, is there a way to add a removable cup holder holder (not a typo) that can be attached to the underside of the table via some sort of clamping mechanism?
2 things comes to mind.
A) Camera mounts. There are commercially available quick release camera plates and clamps which could be adapted onto cup holder which could be added to the bottom of the table, clamped in place and removed with a flick of a toggle.
This would have to be mounted up side down, so I am not sure how much holding power it has.
B) I use power tools all the time. The battery packs slide in and lock, then with the push of a button they release and slide out. Is there any mechanism or mount that's similar to this but not attached to a power tool battery?
Again this would have to be mounted upside down but since it slides in on guides, I would think it's a lot more secure.
Just brainstorming, any feedback or other ideas are welcome.
