Abstract: An apparatus and method for carrying articles, such as tennis balls and adapted to be removably attached to a tennis racquet. The articles are placed in a generally U-shaped trough having side walls which are resiliently biased toward each other to forcibly grip the article. A tongue extending from one transverse edge of the trough contains an aperture which receives the handle of the tennis racquet so that when the racquet is carried with the web or strings of the racquet extending downwardly, the tongue contacts the neck of the racquet with the trough extending along the racquet face. Friction increasing means, such as ridges, are provided along the inside surfaces of the trough to increase the friction between the article and the trough.
