Curious. Are they adjusted correctly? I know it sounds obvious but when I put mine on at first I didn't set them quite right with the result my wrists were rotated unnaturally and my weight was still awkward.
Another thing to check is that you're not putting too much weight on your hands. If you're supporting your weight on your sit bones with your core muscles you should be OK. If you're leaning heavily on your hands then chances are whatever you put on the handlebars will only help so much.
Of course it may be you just don't get on with the grips and need something a bit chunkier
