Snooker prodigy, two, lands Guinness World Records by becoming the youngest person to nail TWO trick shots
A toddler snooker prodigy has broken multiple Guinness World Records as the youngest person to land two trick shots.
At just two years old, little Jude Owens is now also one of the youngest record holders in history.
The Manchester-born little boy scooped the prestigious awards after successfully executing a cue ball shot on October 12, 2025, aged just two years and 302 days.
This came after he completed a double pot in snooker just a few weeks ago at the age of two years and 261 days.
The achievements officially make Jude the youngest person to perform both trick shots and one of the youngest double record holders in the Guinness World Records.
When asked about his favorite shot to play, Jude said: ‘Nike shot.’
Jude’s natural talent was first noticed by his father, Luke Owens; Here billiards quickly became the little boy’s favorite hobby.
Mr Owens said: ‘I think I noticed that when he put the sign between his fingers, the way he did it was very natural.’
Speaking about how Jude managed the pool table given his height, Mr Owens said: ‘It was really difficult at first. We had to use bar stools everywhere we went.

Jude’s accomplishments officially make him the youngest person to perform both trick shots and one of the youngest double record holders in the Guinness World Records.
Snooker became Jude’s favorite hobby after his father noticed his natural talent.
‘But we managed to procure a stool which we used at first mainly for cooking, but later repurposed it to use for snooker shots.’
Mr Owens added: ‘I think Jude has achieved so much in such a short time.
‘But for him to achieve not just one but two world records is probably his pinnacle moment. How can you overcome this in life?
‘I started playing when I was 10 and obviously Jude started playing when he was two. But I can say that Jude has much more natural talent than I do.’
When asked who would win the billiards match between him and his father, Jude confidently replied: ‘Me.’
Guinness World Records Editor-in-Chief Craig Glenday said: ‘Breaking records has always belonged to everyone, regardless of age.
‘It’s incredibly special to see someone as young as Jude demonstrate such skill, enthusiasm and determination. We’re thrilled to welcome him to the Guinness World Records family.’
