A toddler snooker prodigy has landed multiple Guinness World Records by becoming the youngest person to nail 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 tot secured the prestigious awards after he successfully executed a pool bank shot at just two years and 302 days old on October 12, 2025.
This came after just weeks earlier, at two years and 261 days old, he completed a snooker double pot.
The achievements make Jude officially the youngest person ever to perform both trick shots – and one of the youngest double record holders in the Guinness World Records.
When asked about his favourite shot to play, Jude said: ‘A trick shot.’
His father, Luke Owens, first noticed Jude’s natural ability at home, where snooker quickly became the toddler’s favourite hobby.
Mr Owens said: ‘I think I realised once he put the cue through his fingers and it was dead natural the way he did it.’
Speaking about how Jude manages the snooker table given his height, Mr Owens said: ‘At first it was really difficult. We used to have to use barstools from anywhere that we went.

‘But we ended up sourcing a stool which we mainly used for cooking at first, but then we utilised it into him using it for snooker shots.’
Mr Owens added: ‘I think for me, Jude’s achieved quite a lot in such a short space of time.
‘But for him to achieve not just one, but two world records, it’s probably the pinnacle moment. How do you even beat that in life?
‘I started playing when I was 10 and obviously Jude started playing when he was two. But I’d say Jude’s got a lot more natural ability than myself.’
When asked who would win in a snooker match between him and his father, Jude replied confidently: ‘Me.’
Editor-in-Chief of Guinness World Records, Craig Glenday, said: ‘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.’
