MTB Riser Bars with Minimal Backsweep

My current bars have a 9 degree backsweep, but I find that it hurts a part of my palm due to the backsweep. I don't want to roll the bars forward because then I'll have more upsweep. Backsweep might have worked for narrower bars, but I don't find it ideal for wider bars.

 

Maybe I should just put my Ergon GE1 grips back on. They don't have as much padding as I'd like, but have my hands & elbows in a better position. The graphic from their website explains it. I think I can basically achieve a similar effect with other grips if the handlebar has less backsweep.

 

Any suggestions?
