According to the pilot, he flew approximately one hour before returning to the departure airport and entering the traffic pattern. During final approach he stated that the black rubber transfer on the runway surface confused him resulting in the misjudgment of the height of the airplane over the runway. The pilot realized that he was too high above the ground and too slow and applied full throttle to go around; however, the airplane impacted the runway, bounced, then skidded off to the right side of the runway resulting in substantial damage to the right wing and fuselage. The pilot reported no preimpact mechanical malfunctions or failures with the airplane that would have precluded normal operation.
