I thought recently, and it seems to be working, that a couple/three rubber bands rolled down towards the bottom of the water bottle has kept my bottles more secure and that none have popped out or nearly popped out of their holder when I'm zipping down a bumpy road.
Walmart also sells a Bell water bottle cage that uses an adjustable rubber strap. Accomodates bottles of different sizes and keeps them from slipping out - $6 I think.
