Also, Westside Seer would be another good choice.

My wife did well with Diamonds. FH is pretty much the only way she throws.

Someone already said this but pick mostly stable (TeeBird esque as the most OS) to US fairway drivers and find out what feels good in her hand and go from there. Has she tried to FH the Tern? If she has and liked the way it felt try something shallower and lower profile in terms of fairway drivers.

I do most of my drives forehand but I don't have a ton of snap, and I don't get to play as often as I used to. I am usually somewhere between a Discmania FD, Teebird, or Escape. But whenever I haven't played for a while, I take the Diamond out and just work on snapping it and getting my arm used to throwing again. Even with power (or not the greatest form) it can go nice and straight if you let it go with enough hyzer. So yeah, I say Diamond. They are a girl's best friend

I should note that the Opto Diamond definitely works better FH than the Gold Line, given a solid FH throw with only a beginner's skill.

A lighter buzz may feel good in the hand.
You don't use that many back muscles throwing BH. Just the typical ones to maintain posture and that's about it, most of the power is generated from the hips. Moving your back in my experience gives you less power....
I like FHing my ion to improve (any regular putter will do). For regular shots, for a female I'd suggest something like a lightweight Escape, axiom Insanity, star Valk, something of that stability. That will give her good distance and stability while still having glide.
But I still maintain you don't really need back muscles to throw BH...

Get her a 152g crave & a 155g inspire. She will probably like the inspire more at 1st & work into the crave.

Champ leopard. Everyone should throw one forehand.
