A Milestone Moment: World Record Holder Judey147 Featured in The Guardian!
At Cue + Case, we’ve had the front-row seat to Jude’s incredible journey for a while now. From his first trick shots on a mini-table to his growing collection of custom gear, we’ve been proud to have him as part of our sponsored team.
But this week felt a little extra special.
Jude’s natural talent has grown in recognition globally, with The Guardian featuring our favourite Manchester toddler following his double Guinness World Record achievement.
Making It Official
While we’ve watched Jude pot thousands of balls, seeing those official certificates in his hands is a proud moment for all of us. At just two years old, Jude is now officially the youngest person on the planet to perform:
- A Snooker Double Pot
- A Pool Bank Shot
It’s one thing to be a viral sensation; it’s another to be a history-maker. As the authority on world records, Craig Glenday, put it: "To see someone as young as Jude display such skill, enthusiasm and determination is incredibly special."
Why Jude Represents Cue + Case
We sponsor Jude because he embodies the pure joy of the game. Whether he’s using a stool to reach the table or showing off his "dead natural" grip (as his dad, Luke, so perfectly described it), Jude reminds us why we do what we do.
He’s not just a "kid with a cue", he’s a legitimate talent who is already mastering techniques like floating bridges and using the rest. Seeing him get a special walk-out entrance at the 2025 UK Championship was a highlight for us, and this recent press coverage is just the icing on the cake.
The Journey Continues
We want to say a huge congratulations to Jude and the Owens family. Being the youngest-known sponsored player in the sport is a title Jude wears with a lot of pride (and a lot of confidence!).
When The Guardian asked who would win in a match - Jude or his dad - Jude’s answer was, as always, "Me." We’re inclined to agree.
