Narrative:

VFR. Cleared to land runway 9. 10 ft above the runway the rate of descent increased, so I pulled back. Touchdown was very firm, so I bounced back into the air. The second time I hit the ground even harder with the nosewheel and the propeller first. That was when the propeller strike occurred. Therefore I did a go around, but landed.
