Marion Jude joins Team Ball in Mind

It is with great pleasure that we announce the arrival of Marion Jude among the Ball in Mind ambassadors. World blackball champion, an inspiring figure in women's billiards, and a symbol of a new generation, Marion embodies performance, youth, and passion.

Smiling, bubbly, and always positive, she perfectly represents the Ball in Mind spirit: a modern, vibrant, and forward-looking billiards game.

A precocious champion, passionate since day one.

Marion discovered billiards at a very young age, thanks to her father, himself a passionate player: "He used to take my brother and me to billiards lessons when we were younger, and I've never stopped since."

Her attachment to the sport was born from a taste for strategy, logic, and precision.

An athlete who pushes boundaries.

After dominating the blackball circuit and winning the world title, Marion is opening up new horizons.

She is now turning her hand to Heyball (Chinese billiards), a demanding and spectacular discipline, where she has already achieved great performances.

In 2025, she distinguished herself with a superb 3rd-place finish at the Asian Open Heyball in Jordan, reaching the semifinals of an international open and climbing directly to 23rd in the world (WPA ranking).

This meteoric rise is a testament to her dedication, determination, and ability to excel in all variations of billiards.

Her role as a Ball in Mind ambassador.

By joining Ball in Mind, Marion becomes one of the faces of a new generation of players who are changing the image of billiards.

Alongside us, she will fly our flag in national and international competitions, embodying a clear message: billiards is a sport of the future, young, vibrant, and inspiring.

With Marion, billiards gains energy, modernity, and influence—everything we have championed since our beginnings.

A beautiful story begins!

The arrival of Marion Jude in Team Ball in Mind marks a new milestone in our adventure.

She joins a team of passionate player ambassadors who share the same vision: to introduce billiards in a different way, with style and ambition.

Welcome, Marion, may the road be long... and full of victories.
