Another way to practice, especially if it gets worse as you go, is to practice the lick from back to front. Play the last beat, then the last two, last three, etc...finally playing it all. That way when you get there, your hand will remember playing the end with the same ease as the beginning. Start slow, back to front, and once you can play the whole thing, start slowly building up speed.
