Walter laikre
Walter Laikre is one of Sweden’s most exciting young pool talents and already a proven name on the international junior stage.
Born in 2008, he has earned recognition for his calm match temperament, sharp shot-making, and mature all-round game well beyond his age.
His breakthrough results include runner-up finishes at both the WPA World Junior 9-Ball Championship and the European Youth Championships, followed by major wins in 2025, including the EPBF Youth Tour Masters title and gold in the Under 19 8-ball at the European Championships.
Competing successfully in both junior and open events, Laikre represents the new generation of Scandinavian pool, combining confidence, precision, and competitive focus. As a representative for Mezz, he reflects the same values that define the brand: quality, control, and performance at the table
