    Win the Diva here. That way, it hasn't cost anything, so she can't complain.

    THIS

    Short Answer: You don't.

    A new ball might get her another 10 pins in average. "maybe"

    Teaching her more of the basics and spare shooting and that kinda stuff will get her average to increase double what a new ball will.

    P.S. THIS is why I don't suggest people buy a plastic ball as their first ball. They tend to quickly outgrow it, then want something reactive. Sure, it can then be used as a spare ball...but I just don't think thats what the consumer is expecting when they buy it....that it'll last them a half a season and they'll need/want something else.
