"I think I realised once he put the cue through his fingers and it was dead natural the way he did it."
"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."
Two-year-old Jude Owens achieved two Guinness World Records by completing a snooker double pot at 2 years 261 days and a pool bank shot at 2 years 302 days. Jude became the youngest person to perform both trick shots and is among the youngest double record holders in Guinness World Records history. His father, Luke Owens, noticed Jude's natural ability at home and adapted stools so his son could reach the table. Jude received a special walk-out at the 2025 UK Championship and gained a sport sponsorship. The family notes his enthusiasm for Manchester United and Bruno Fernandes.
