I've done that too. I guess if you do this every day as a career, you'll make your fair share of awful landings.
YESSSS!!!! I fly 310's and agree 100%. I have never flown an airplane with a more stiff suspension. I'd say if I'm in the mood where I actually care, I can grease 9 of 10, but most days I'm doing my job, getting there fast and efficient[and several short(er) landings, so I tend to give'm a nice firm touchdown for braking action].
My worst though was when I was building XC time in a warrior, went into Warsaw, IN on 18. I porposed(sp) about 3 times before I said screw it and added power for my "touches and go." I regreted not remaining in the pattern and doing it again to see exactly what I did wrong, but I imagine my speed was a little high for the landing.
