Youngest person to make a pool bank shot (male)

The youngest person to make a pool bank shot is Jude Owens (UK) at the age of 2 years 302 days in Manchester, UK, on 12 October 2025.

Jude was introduced to snooker and pool by his father Luke who gifted him a mini-table to play on. After taking to the smaller table so well, Jude was introduced to larger adult-size tables and that proved to be no obstacle at all (though he does need the help of a stool to reach the table!).

So far he's displayed a number of techniques that even adults can struggle with, including floating bridge shots and potting using the rest.

He was given a special walk-out entrance at the 2025 UK Snooker Championship and is the youngest-known person to have a snooker sponsorship.
