Do 3/4 handicap comps favour good golfers too much?

Pairs Better ball is 3/4. This does make sense to me. Full allowance would be a massacre.....

with the current basis to handicapping this isn't the case, and the one countries Golf Union that has implemented full allowance for 4BBB has shown no evidence of massacre at all - it's simply removed the huge advantage that lower players have with this currently.

CONGU is looking to move to 90% but is concerned with the reaction, rather than any adverse competitive implications - the rubbish spouted over moving singles to full was incredible (and sometimes still is)

Our club league restricts the number of Cat 1 players in a team (it's played 4BBB) because of the inherent advantage that would be available to clubs soley on the basis of the number of available cat 1 players.

A review of all the 4BBB knockout competition results at our club over the last few years shows that the lower handicap teams have a significantly better record per match - and by the time you get to Senior golf, where there are few (if any) improving golfers, the lower handicappers really dominate in matches and knockouts.
