I would be surprised if front squats don't feel awkward the first little period of time in which you do them. I only started doing them a month ago and I've pretty quickly went from the cross-arm grip, to the whole hand, to the two finger grip. I personally prefer only using two fingers under the bar but I also had an issue with it rolling around on me when I did 260 this week, so that might not actually be the best grip.
The less of your hand you have on/under the bar the less strain on your forearms I find.
