I realize it's counterintuitive, but Base2 may be right. The correct way to dial your position is to get the saddle-to-pedal dimensions right, then put the bars at a comfortable reach and height. If they're too close/high, your body will have the sensation of trying to "push through" the grips to get to the correct location, causing hand pressure. Which is certainly a common issue with taller folks on 'one size fits all' folders.
