Landing question

I have wondered for a while why doesn't the tail of a plane ever hit the ground right before touchdown when you are pulling back hard on the yoke? The tail of the PA28 I fly is normally 2 feet off the ground. It must come within inches of scraping. And if the tail did hit, wouldn't it cause a prop strike?
