The Worlds Youngest Billiards Player Carves His Name in Guinness at Two Years Old

Khaberni -  The British child "Jude Owens", who has not yet reached his second year, has successfully carved his name in gold in the Guinness Book of World Records, where he became the youngest person in the world to successfully perform a professional "rebound shot" in billiards, in addition to his astonishing success in performing a "double shot" in snooker, thus surpassing those older than him by decades.

According to international newspapers, Jude accomplished the billiards rebound shot at the age of two years and 302 days, earning official recognition from the Guinness Book.

Just a few weeks prior, at two years and 261 days old, he also succeeded in performing a double shot in snooker, making him the youngest person in history to achieve both feats together, and one of the youngest double record holders in the history of the record book.

Jude has become a sensation on social media, garnering thousands of followers who eagerly watch his video clips, expressing their astonishment at his striking skills at such an early age. When asked about his favorite shot, Jude answered, "trick shots".

His father, Luke, said that his son's talent became apparent early on at home, where the game of snooker quickly became his favorite pastime. He added: "I realized his talent when he held the cue very naturally and placed it between his fingers with notable confidence."

Luke explained that Jude relies on a small chair to reach the table, noting that it was not easy at first, but quite difficult, and they had to use high chairs wherever they went. Later, they managed to provide a chair they had used in the kitchen, then transformed it to serve as his support tool during snooker games.

Meanwhile, Craig Glenday, Editor-in-Chief of the Guinness World Records, said: "Breaking records is accessible to everyone, regardless of age. Seeing a child like Jude demonstrate this level of skill, enthusiasm, and perseverance is truly special, and we are delighted to welcome him to the Guinness World Records family."
