Summary
The pilot reported that shortly after touchdown, he heard a noise followed by vibration from the nosewheel area. He subsequently lost directional control of the aircraft which came to rest beyond the left side of the runway. Post-flight inspection revealed that the nosewheel had collapsed, and that the propeller and left-wing tip were damaged. It appeared that the pilot overcontrolled with the elevator after the initial touchdown.
