Can anyone tell me? Which is for the more advanced player?

I'm pretty sure that the only difference is that the spin milled ones have bigger grooves, and they are both for about the same player (higher handicappers).

When new, the spin milled wedges will eat balls up, especially urethane covered balls, but they will add more spin for most players. It has been noted that in order to keep the advantage that SM wedges have, you need to change them every 20 rounds or so. After they wear down, they play similarly to or exactly like the 200s.

One other difference is that spin milled wedges do not come in anything stronger than 54*, so if you need a gap wedge Vokey, you have to go with the 200.

And I think the previous poster meant that Vokeys are for low handicappers, not high. But either way, I think most golfers can handle them.

Yeah, sorry, tired, I meant lower handicappers. Sorry.

    • Is it? I bought the Stack radar to replace my PRGR based on what Stack told me! When I am swinging for speed, the PRGR would miss 50%-80% of my backswings due to a higher speed. The stack seldom misses those- at least for me.
    • As an analyst by nature, I would like to compare the scores under both systems. It is something we can easily do if we have the data. I actually thought the new system was less fair to those whose game was on the decline - like mine! Old: Best 10 of last 20 scores with the .96 multiplier. Course handicap excluded course rating and overall par. New: Best 8/20. Course handicap includes course rating -par. My understanding is Stableford caps scores at Net double bogey like stroke play. If so, handicap should be slower to rise because you are only using 8 versus 10 scores. If I am missing something, I am curious enough to  want to understand what that may be. My home course tees that I play are 72.1/154 now. My best score out here is 82. When my game started to decline, my handicap didn’t budge for 13 rounds because of good scores in my first 8! I know I am an anomaly but my handicap has increased almost 80% in the past few years (with only a few rounds this year). For a few months I knew I was losing every bet because my game was nowhere near my handicap. I suspect I have steamrolled a few nuances but that shouldn’t matter much. When I have modeled this with someone playing the same tees and course, one good round, or return to form, will immediately reduce the handicap by some amount.
