It feels awkward.

As the weight increases you're putting more and more pressure on that joint. You've probably got wicked tendonitis.
I follow the Mark Rippatoe program and he talks about your exact problem.
You want the bar to be balanced atop your forearms. No wrist action at all. It takes some time to train your brain and you'll probably want to drop your weight while you modify your approach.
