In a putting clinic, I asked about uses for lightweight putter, and the instructor didn't think much of them either. About the only use he could think of for a lightweight putter is for times when you should probably be using a mid. So, I'd ditch the light putters.

As far as light drivers -- does she have good technique? I've learned that lighter discs are less tolerant to poor technique. I have terrible technique, and the 150's did absolutely nothing for me. Any extra advantage I got from the lighter weight, I lost because I got terrible flutter. Until I'm able to improve my technique, I need to be throwing heavier discs so that I don't get the flutter. As I improve my technique, then I'll be able to handle the lighter discs, and increase my distance (hopefully). Obviously, I don't know if your wife has similar problems, but it isn't necessarily a wonderful idea to get really light discs if she can't handle them. It can cause extreme frustration trying to make them fly correctly (believe me - I know!).

in short, she has almost no technique http://www.nwdiscgolfnews.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9319
