ok so I made a deal with my parents and grandparents they said if I made a team as a freshman they will buy me any baseball glove that I want money not being an issue, so I am looking at the pudge a2k, a pro preferred or a primo. Which is the best of these, are there any other?
awesome deal! three great choices. Primo tends to be a bit heavy, although I have not put the catcher's mitt on my hand. I would put all three on your hand and see which feels better, with consideration to weight, and go for it.
Where could I do that at??

Since your location is listed as "up top", it is difficult to answer that question. Most areas have sporting goods stores or team dealers who carry better quality gloves and these are three popular models, so call around and find out who has them in your area.
Up top meaning above everyone else in elevation in Denver...
Sorry about that.

What size glove do you want? The Pudge is a 32", that may not be the best option for you, depends on how good you are. My son is new to catching (HS coach is converting him) and is using a Mizuno GXC10 picked up from the auction site at a very attractive price. My mitt is a mid-level Rawlings but I might be getting something else (in a 34" mitt) since mine is now pretty worn out. I would probably avoid the Primo because of weight. We have a high-end baseball store in the area and so we have a fair selection of very decent gloves. I tried on, and really like the All-Star gloves CM3000 or CM3100 in whatever size floats your boat. The Wilson A2000's are a very good glove too. I didn't like the fit as much as the All-Stars but that's just me - your experience is likely to be very different. You should go to the various glove manufactures web sites and use their dealer locator to find a more specialist baseball dealer in your area, then start calling around and make a road trip.
Gonna add my little piece to this party. I have a custom a2000 ordered it pro stiff. Got it Christmas of this year, beat it to gods end with a mallet, and caught bullpens with it. I hurt my knee 12 games into my year, but was back for the playoffs, and caught 2 then. Over this summer I have been catching for my JV Summer Team. Caught probably 10 games with 5 bullpens mixed here and there. And my glove is just now getting where I want it to be. So high quality glove = long break in BUT much better mitt.
What size is it raider catcher?
32.5
ok thank you
