Surface Pro 3 Wavy diagonal lines when inking

I've noticed a problem with my surface pro 3 that I have not been able to work around.  When I draw a slow diagonal line, it comes out very wavy and jagged.  If I quickly draw a diagonal, it seems ok.  Has anyone else seen this, is there a fix for it?  seems to happen in every application, so it strikes me as potential hardware.

    This is extremely disappointing. I was planning to go check out the SP4 at the MS store this weekend in the hopes that this issue was resolved. I'd love to get one to replace the SP3 I sold (still using my X201t), but I will not if this issue remains. The change to pressure sensitivity gave me hope that they changed the electronics significantly in the pen.

    I was playing with the sp4 at the store and the wavy lines have improved on the sp4 compared to the sp3. Is still little wavy BUT you can get almost the same results of the sp4 if you open the windows paint program and draw a slow diagonal line with your mouse not the pen...then draw a fast diagonal mouse with your mouse. I belive thats what you are going to get with the sp4....the sp3 is very bad compared to the sp4.

    I'm still waiting on microsoft promise. They promised that they were going to fix this issue for the sp3 by increasing the "power" from the pen.
