Don't know aerodynamics of lift during rotation but there's a general feel about the rotation like the ground speed and rate of change of attitude. In TW the GS is higher which could create illusion that rate of rotation is slower and make pilot inadvertently increase rate of rotation. There's a tail strike pitch for each aircraft that needs to be monitored during rotation and if approaching that without lift off then you need to freeze rotation.
