My contractor buddy told me I was using the wrong hammer for demo work

I've been swinging a framing hammer for years on drywall and tile tear-outs, but he pulled out a 3-pound sledge and showed me how much faster it goes. He said I was just bruising the wall, not breaking it. Has anyone else had that moment where a pro made you feel like an amateur with a simple tool swap?

Is this one of those things where you spend years pushing hard at something, then realize you were just using the wrong angle?

Wait, you mean there's actually some secret trick I've been missing this whole time? That's both hilarious and slightly depressing.
