About Felix
Though many associate cue sports with quiet halls and hushed intensity, the game of billiards holds a dynamic legacy in India, one that dates back to the British colonial era. The popular variation of snooker, in fact, was born in Jabalpur, India, in the 19th century when British Army officers fused elements of pyramid and black pool. Today, cue sports like snooker and billiards remain deeply embedded in India’s sporting culture, producing global icons and homegrown heroes. From the vibrant southern state of Kerala rises one such name, Felix V James, a self-taught billiards and snooker player whose consistent presence in major tournaments has contributed to Kerala's representation and visibility in the national cue sports circuit.
