Right now my mother is throwing a yellow dot bleeder(it's as old as I am) and I was looking for a new ball for her. I was just wondering if there is a columbia ball out now that compairs to it. SHe throws with slow to med speed, low to med revs, and usually plays the 2nd arrow.
Thanks

Dont know how "close" it is to an old bleeder, but from your decsription, I would go with one of these choices:

Columbia Scout Reactive (many colors to choose from)
Ebonite Tornado (couple of choices as well)
Storm Big Hit Pearl
Brunswick Groove Reactive

All these are low end balls as far as prices go, but work very well for drier conditions and/or slower speeds. You could probably get any of these for under $100 (ball, drilling, grips and inserts). Out of all these, my choice would be a Big Hit Pearl.

I'd be inclined to suggest a pearl or solid urethane
like the Columbia Scout

OR Brunswick Groove,

I seem to recall the Yellow Dot was
an even arcing ball.(I had one).I would
suggest a BEAST.
