I don't know how comfortable I'd be playing in a brand new $99 glove. Definitely used, as a couple others have said...
I was gonna mention I recently grabbed the Kipper Catch for $399, I understand everybody differs on the term "Budget". But Gloves are something I never skimp on. I use 10 yr old entry Heaton pants, Middle-line sticks, and an ancient bag.

But

Gloves
Pads
Mask
C/A

Always upper end gear. I use my gloves waaaay too much to use cheaper gear. Definetly check the classifieds, or the Bay, their are always deals to be had, they just might not be the perfect color.....
