Narrative:

I did a preflight briefing and inspection in accordance with the preflight checklist. I completed all checklists in accordance with required procedures through all segments with aircraft operation. I received ATIS, departure information and taxi clearance for runway 17. The wind was around 190-200 degrees at approximately 10+ KTS and the temperature was around 20 degrees C, with good VFR conditions. All instruments indicated normal engine operations through all of these segments. I contacted the tower for takeoff clearance and I received it shortly thereafter. I held the aircraft on the brakes while I increased power to the engines to takeoff power. I started my roll down the runway, using flight controls as required. Everything indicated normal performance. At rotation speed, I increased back pressure on the yoke for rotation. I felt uncomfortable with the lift off situation that developed, and I decided to abort takeoff. Through the abortion phase, the aircraft struck the ground on the left and the right side. Countering with the application of yoke controls and engine power management did not prevent the ground strike, however I was able to maintain directional control until the aircraft slowed down. I rolled out towards the end of the runway and contacted the controller notifying him that I had aborted takeoff.

Title: A PLT DEPARTING HOU IN A PA34-20 ABORTED TKOF AFTER ROTATION. IT IS UNCLR IF THE ACFT WAS DAMAGED.

Narrative: I DID A PREFLT BRIEFING AND INSPECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PREFLT CHKLIST. I COMPLETED ALL CHKLISTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH REQUIRED PROCS THROUGH ALL SEGMENTS WITH ACFT OP. I RECEIVED ATIS, DEP INFO AND TAXI CLRNC FOR RWY 17. THE WIND WAS AROUND 190-200 DEGS AT APPROX 10+ KTS AND THE TEMP WAS AROUND 20 DEGS C, WITH GOOD VFR CONDITIONS. ALL INSTS INDICATED NORMAL ENG OPS THROUGH ALL OF THESE SEGMENTS. I CONTACTED THE TWR FOR TKOF CLRNC AND I RECEIVED IT SHORTLY THEREAFTER. I HELD THE ACFT ON THE BRAKES WHILE I INCREASED PWR TO THE ENGS TO TKOF PWR. I STARTED MY ROLL DOWN THE RWY, USING FLT CTLS AS REQUIRED. EVERYTHING INDICATED NORMAL PERFORMANCE. AT ROTATION SPD, I INCREASED BACK PRESSURE ON THE YOKE FOR ROTATION. I FELT UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE LIFT OFF SIT THAT DEVELOPED, AND I DECIDED TO ABORT TKOF. THROUGH THE ABORTION PHASE, THE ACFT STRUCK THE GND ON THE L AND THE R SIDE. COUNTERING WITH THE APPLICATION OF YOKE CTLS AND ENG PWR MGMNT DID NOT PREVENT THE GND STRIKE, HOWEVER I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN DIRECTIONAL CTL UNTIL THE ACFT SLOWED DOWN. I ROLLED OUT TOWARDS THE END OF THE RWY AND CONTACTED THE CTLR NOTIFYING HIM THAT I HAD ABORTED TKOF.
