Two years in the making… and it’s finally here. 🎱
Meet “Bush Pioneer 南野先鋒” — a fully custom Zen cue made for Zen Cue supporters player

When this project first started, Bean gave us three things: green and yellow, Australian culture, and something that was truly hers. Sounds simple but that gave us a lot to play with.
The forearm starts with Zen’s classic 8×40-point structure, using yellow precious metal with green veneers.
The most interesting part is the space at the bottom of the points. Instead of filling it with a traditional pattern, we borrowed the idea of the “Gallery” from Rolls-Royce — turning that small space into somewhere we could actually tell a story.
At the centre is ∞ Infinity. Around it are Aboriginal-inspired rock art silhouettes and dot painting, showing hunting, family and everyday life. The idea of repetition became a big part of the design — because that’s also the life of a player. Practice, compete, come back, practice again. Over and over.
The smaller Galleries carry Emu footprints, while the top of the ∞ becomes an upward arrow.
Keep moving forward. Limited space, infinite possibilities. ♾️
The ringwork gets even more personal. It starts from Bean’s nickname “Bean豆”, then combines it with Li (離卦), the 30th hexagram of the I Ching. Li is also one of the Eight Pure Hexagrams, which ties back nicely to the 8× structure of the 40-point forearm.
A small detail, but one that keeps Zen’s Chinese roots inside the whole design.
Then comes the sleeve.
We kept the classic Box style, but gave it a slimmer waist to suit a female player. The design inside the boxes comes from the trophy Bean won at the 2025 WPA Women’s 10-Ball Oceania Championship — then mixed with Māori influence, stars from the Australian flag, and the Zen dragon between each box.
So when you look at the whole cue, there’s a bit of everything that makes Bean who she is — Australia, Oceania, Chinese culture, her results, her nickname and her journey.
That’s the fun of a real Zen Cue Tailor Made.
You’re not just choosing wood, colours and inlays.
You’re putting someone’s story into a cue.
After two years of drawings, changes, ideas and waiting, Bush Pioneer g南野先鋒 is finally in her hands.
