Champaign cork is what I used to use, didn't make my mallet near Christmas, anyway problem is it probably will just slowly dissintigrate (as have all 'corks' I've used both natural and man made). I now just go for a coin and tape.
I think the problem is you are leaning on your mallet too much rather than your mallet isn't padded enough (if it's a trapped nerve the only way to not hurt it is to not put as much weight on it, padding your malet won't change the weight going through your hand)...
So my suggestion is the opposite, remove everything from the end of your mallet and try staying in goal for 20 mins, either you'll fuck up your hand worse or you won't lean on the malet as much.
