Brett,

Our field is Bermuda grass and I hold up elevator
while taxing (tail dragger). I taxi out and turn in the
middle of the Runway and stop (Deep Breath ) .
Then start my take off run while holding in a little
up elevator. Try to get enough airspeed before you
lift off. I'm not one that goes WOT on my take off run
btw. Just over half throttle works on my planes. That's
the plus side of having more engine than required.
You'll probably find that you will use less rudder correction
off of grass too.
