get a squeegee, then you can at least pretend, even a condom. i know it might not help but a good place to start for cost is
a) get a mask- scott with thermal lense cheap on ebay( any mask but you have to have a thermal anti fog lense) you wouldnt believe the difference it makes.
b) get a pistol, you cant fire to many balls even if you wanted to, they are cheap. it is also good to learn sneaky techniques and accuraccy( gettin up close and personal is most of the fun in rec ball) and you feel like clint eastwood. lol
