How can the LH wing dip hard RIGHT? I assume you meant left. In the original post you mentioned possibly catching some grass with the LG or wing tip. Sounds like it's hard to know what actually happened, except that you need better acceleration on your take-off run, which would suggest a lower pitch prop.
I had a bit of bad grammar when I wrote this thread. The LH wing dipped hard, right after takeoff I was a bit too far to the left side of the runway and as soon as the craft broke ground it immediately dipped left and didn't take long to get into the weeds. It looked like the wing and landing gear hit the weeds pretty much simultaneously. After that point there was no saving it and the cartwheel ensued.
