Serious issue with super-slippery stylus

[Eric]

Does anyone have an antidote to counteract the slippery surface of the Intuos 4 tablets? It just doesn't feel like I'm using a pencil when I try to work quickly with my tablet and the surface doesn't feel like paper. In fact, it's so slippery that I often miscalculate my lines and angles and finish longer strokes with a weird curl that trails off near the end. Wait a sec.... I just remembered something.........nice. Okay, there's some different looking nibs inside the pen stand. Maybe one of those might do the trick. There's a few nibs that are all white--they might provide a little more resistance on the tablet surface. I'll check them out and report back.

As a side note, for ergonomics I've taken a rolled-up bath towel and used it to prop up my tablet on one end to put the drawing surface at a more comfortable angle and it seems to help a lot.

Does anyone have any similar issues with the slick feel of the tablet becoming bothersome?
