Narrative:

On the final approach for runway 35 with complete landing configuration; full flaps down; airspeed at 72 KTS and maintaining runway heading. When I entered the ground effect; I over steered the plane by using too much yoke control to land; instead of letting the air. As a result the plane lost ground effect; did a hard landing entered in a ballooning pattern; inadvertently the plane went off the runway to the left. As the plane glided off the runway I was able to manage it; I immediately switched to flaps up then applied full throttle. In the process of building airspeed over a unstable terrain; (dirt) the nose of plane bounced up and down. Once I was near rotation speed; I pitched up and was able to enter a normal climb and retain full control of the aircraft. I did a go around and safely landed the second time. After doing a walk around of the aircraft the only damage that stood out were the props; one of which was bent about 4 inches at the tip; the other blade was chipped about 4 inches of the tip.
