Narrative:
The wind was 090 degrees/12 KTS (per ATC); no gusts. I landed absolutely normally on runway 7 as usual. My speed on touchdown was around 65 KTS (normal). As soon as the nosewheel touched the ground; the aircraft began to weathervane to the right; without my being able to control this departure from runway centerline with the rudder; which seemed totally ineffective. I felt that the front wheel was locked in a fixed position. The aircraft departed to the right side of the runway and ended up in a tall grass area on the right side of runway 7; which stopped the aircraft very quickly as the nose gear collapsed. The propeller hit the ground and exhibits 2 twisted blades; the lower cowl and nose gear doors are dented. No injuries or damage to property other than the aircraft.

Narrative: THE WIND WAS 090 DEGS/12 KTS (PER ATC); NO GUSTS. I LANDED ABSOLUTELY NORMALLY ON RWY 7 AS USUAL. MY SPD ON TOUCHDOWN WAS AROUND 65 KTS (NORMAL). AS SOON AS THE NOSEWHEEL TOUCHED THE GND; THE ACFT BEGAN TO WEATHERVANE TO THE R; WITHOUT MY BEING ABLE TO CTL THIS DEP FROM RWY CTRLINE WITH THE RUDDER; WHICH SEEMED TOTALLY INEFFECTIVE. I FELT THAT THE FRONT WHEEL WAS LOCKED IN A FIXED POS. THE ACFT DEPARTED TO THE R SIDE OF THE RWY AND ENDED UP IN A TALL GRASS AREA ON THE R SIDE OF RWY 7; WHICH STOPPED THE ACFT VERY QUICKLY AS THE NOSE GEAR COLLAPSED. THE PROP HIT THE GND AND EXHIBITS 2 TWISTED BLADES; THE LOWER COWL AND NOSE GEAR DOORS ARE DENTED. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY OTHER THAN THE ACFT.
