Mark V or DHS H3 Neo

I think for intermediate players if you're an offensive player, you should use H3 on your forehand, and Mark V on your backhand. However, Mark V might be a bit too soft, so I suggest a medium hardness rubber, such as Butterfly Rozena.

Hi,

I got this very combo, just today...Got them stuck on my 22+year old Butterfly Joyner H-AN OFF blade ... Even before reading this thread... It's just been 2 hours.. I haven't even used it... 

I thought, I'd used the DHS Neo3 on my BH, but after trying it, I am seriously considering it for my FH, and the Marvk V for my BH...

Interesting observation Veet and not one many people would be likely to consider when selecting rubbers.  I can't say I've really noticed such a lateral weight difference despite having several bats with quite different rubbers on either side.

However, add the common practice of using thinner rubbers on the BH for more control and the difference could be quite marked, especially if using a thinner version of a lighter rubber on one side and a max version of a heavy rubber like the Hurricane series on the other. The biggest effect I notice though is heavier rubbers make the bat unbalanced in a 'head-heavy' way that then makes you feel like like you have grip more tightly to hold onto the bat.

I'm very careful about the weight and weight distribution of my racquets, because of a sensitive wrist, and I never heard anyone having lateral weight distribution issues. I'm not saying yours are not reel, Veet, but isn't it that your blade is too heavy altogether? How much does it weigh? The Jonyer should be about 80g, the Mark V should be about 46g and the Hurricane about 51g, with glue a total of about 180g. This doesn't sound too bad actually, and the difference between rubbers weights shouldn't be that big... I'm also thinking about all the people who play regular backside rubbers on the forehand and 0x pimples on the backhand (no sponge). They should feel a much greater lateral imbalance, and apparently they deal with it quite well, but their blades are also globally much lighter.
