Narrative:

During a simulated soft field takeoff from paved runway; on rotation the aircraft veered left and rolled off the side of the runway on to grassy area. Engine power was immediately cut and I used brakes to slow the aircraft to a stop. After shut down and departing aircraft no observable damage took place to the aircraft or airport property; and there were no injuries. Loss of directional control was the result of insufficient right rudder to compensate for left turning tendency during high performance take off. Contributory was lack of recent experience performing this procedure and my resulting slow response to the developing runway departure.
