Why do some people vent all there frustrations on the Hosha’nos, utterly decimating all the leaves, and leaving the unlucky shul attendant wish a mess to clean up?
And some always hit them softly, in a controlled manner, without turning it into a be’zoyoin Mitzvah.
I’m more inclined to the doing it the second way.
What’s the correct (and if it’s a violent way, justifiable) behaviour?

So this is such an important time to bang with all of our might.

They should be hit 5 times, not more. Al Pi Kabalah there is an Inyan to have some leaves fall off. I often beat it 5 times into the ground moderately hard. If no leaves fell off, I pluck two off with my hands and then pick them up before I leave Shul.
