3DS XL analog stick catching when going from left to right?

I got my 3ds XL yesterday and was testing it out last night. I was playing Donkey Kong Country returns and when quickly going from left to right on the analog stick was causing it to catch. Has anyone else ran into this? Is this something that will go away when the stick is broken in?

That's not normal. I'd take it back or at least try another one to make sure they don't all feel like that to you.
