Bottom line
On short-field takeoffs in general, just after rotation and lift-off, the airplane should be allowed to accelerate to VX. On short-field takeoffs in general, the airplane should make the initial climb over obstacles at VX, then transition to VY as obstacles are cleared. When partial flaps are recommended for short-field takeoffs, attempting to prevent premature lift-off with forward elevator pressure results in wheel barrowing.
