In an extraordinary display of talent, two-year-old Jude Owens from Manchester has become the youngest person to set two Guinness World Records in snooker trick shots. Jude achieved this remarkable feat by successfully executing a pool bank shot at the tender age of two years and 302 days on October 12, 2025. Just weeks earlier, at two years and 261 days old, he completed a snooker double pot, securing his place in history as one of the youngest double record holders.
A Natural Talent Emerges
Jude's father, Luke Owens, first noticed his son's exceptional ability at home, where snooker quickly became the toddler's favorite pastime. "I realized his natural talent when he effortlessly put the cue through his fingers," Luke recounted. Initially, the family used bar stools to help Jude reach the table, but they eventually adapted a cooking stool for his snooker practice.
A Record-Breaking Journey
Jude's achievements have not only earned him a place in the Guinness World Records but also garnered him a special walk-out entrance at the 2025 UK Championship. He is the youngest-known person to have a sponsorship in the sport. When asked who would win in a snooker match between him and his father, Jude confidently replied, "Me."
A Bright Future Ahead
Beyond snooker, Jude is a devoted Manchester United fan, with a particular admiration for Bruno Fernandes. His family describes him as "obsessed" with the football star and notes that he can sing every word to "Take Me Home, Country Roads."
Welcoming a Young Prodigy
Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, expressed his admiration for Jude's accomplishments. "Record-breaking has always belonged to everyone—regardless of age. To see someone as young as Jude display such skill, enthusiasm, and determination is incredibly special. We're thrilled to welcome him into the Guinness World Records family," he stated.
WHAT THIS MIGHT MEAN
Jude Owens' early achievements in snooker could pave the way for a promising future in the sport. As one of the youngest record holders, he may inspire other young talents to pursue their passions, regardless of age. His story highlights the importance of nurturing natural abilities from a young age, potentially leading to more opportunities for child prodigies in various fields.
The recognition from Guinness World Records and his early sponsorship could open doors for Jude in the competitive world of snooker. As he grows older, he may have the chance to compete at higher levels, further developing his skills and possibly becoming a prominent figure in the sport.
