Default RE: shoestring nosing over

Well I fly off asphalt and mine has never even thought about nosing over. However a good friend who also has this same plane with a Saito 100 noses over after landing everytime. I can imaginine grass would be worse. Are the wheels rotating freely?
Or it could be technique as far as running the throttle?? Are you using the sotck wheels which came with the plane? I usually toss them out and run kavans

Anyone else having trouble with shoestring nosing when they taxi along the grass runway, the grass is short. The center of gravity is right where it should be, I don't want to add anymore weight to the tail end. To me it seems like the landing should be more forward but with this set up the landing gear cannot be moved. any ideas.
