Her timing is off, try to get her to consciously wait for the ball to drop into the down swing before taking off for the second step.
Girlfriend's first reactive and fingertip drilled ball!
I just bought my girlfriend a 13lbs DV8 misfit pink and yellow for our 2nd year anniversary. this is her first ball, and its drilled fingertip. the first day she used it her thumb bruised up on top of the finger nail area because shes used to gripping the ball like the house balls. good thing i have a coupon that if i buy a new ball from the pro shop that gives a 30min coaching lesson. so after three days of rest, we went back to the alley and had her lessons done. now shes doing okay and averaging about 100-120. enough with the talk, here are pic and vid
watch it on 1080p!

Nice. I'm am actually debating on one of these or a cyclone for my wife's birthday coming up in a couple weeks. I'm most likely gonna go for the misfit I think.

My Wife's tropical breeze is waiting for her in the proshop right now (and my Modern Marvel)
Heres is an old video of her, she needs to learn a hook from someone as she don't listen to me.

She did very well for just switching to a finger tip grip. The major issue, other than her timing which will come with practice, is that her arm is too far away from her body. This will prevent her from getting proper axis tilt and ball roll. Work on timing, and keeping the ball as close to the body as possible without hitting herself, and she will be scoring better in no time.

Your wife needs to hold her elbow next to her side(elbow just above belt/waist),then as she takes 1st step have her push ball straight out and keep her arm close to her side and knees a little more bent.

is this for slowfaller?
That's one nice looking ball. Now you need to go to some midnight madness bowling and check that thing out under black light.
