The last time my mom threw a bowling ball was about 10 years ago with a 14lb Faball Black Hammer. I was thinking of a Cherry Vibe for her. What would you guys suggest?

The vibe is a good ball and is not too expensive for a person just coming back.But tell her to take her time coming back and dont try to do much to the ball for about a game or so until all those muscles start working again because its very easy to pull something or do as my mom did she was off for 12 years came back threw 5 balls and broke her thumb and middle finger.That was the end of that.So tell her I said good luck.and whatever you do dont let her read the sentence about my mom breaking her fingers.

14LB Slingblade would work well for her...;)

There is no way I am getting rid of that ball. It's perfect for when I need more speed.

Let her pick her own bowling balls. She might go for one of those Tropical Storms because of the way they smell. Women like that sort of thing. Steer her towards Hammer products obviously and keep her away from Brunshit if at all possible. Tell her they're made in 3rd world sweatshops by little kids who don't get to go to school at all,or some other sob story. But she's old enough to buy her own stuff.

Make sure she stretches those muscles before she throws that first ball. Alot can happen . Maybe she would also like the Cherry vibe. But make sure you explaing the game and equipment has changed alot since she last bowled.
