I would not assume that at all.
In fact, anyone who might still be shaving bats these days is insane, especially in Lone Star events.
#1, The bats today are hot enough right out of the wrapper, you don't need to tamper.
#2, Once you tamper with a bat, your void the warranty and will no longer get a return if/when it breaks.
#3, and perhaps most importantly, the ball we use is the Worth Hot Dot 52/275 (some call it Hy-Cor). That is a higher compression, lower core ball that some refer to as "bouncy." The whole point of shaving is to get thinner wall for a trampoline effect. But when a thin wall connects with a softer ball, those two forces are working against each other.
Using a shaved bat with this ball, you are hurting your performance not help it.
Regardless, all bats will be supplied this weekend at Batstock, so you can leave your laser sticks at home. Hopefully you can find a brand/model/weight that suits you.
