If you have been to an online chess server, you will notice that almost all titled players always play quick games (3 0) at a max.

On the other hand, if you go to tournaments, it needs cool thinking and not instantaneous moves.

I am surprised, then how do they maintain this balance? Doesn't playing too many quick games spoil their overall playing ability?

Doesn't hurt mine. I can switch from blitz to long games without problems. The reverse isn't true though... if I play a long game and then try blitz, I almost always end up thinking too long and either lose on time or due to time trouble.
