In order to be able to understand the evolution of stellar spin rates and differential rotation, it is necessary to have a rigorous theory for predicting angular momentum loss via magnetic stellar winds that is applicable over a wide range of conditions. Based upon the results of multidimensional, numerical simulations and semi-analytic calculations, we present an improved formulation for predicting the stellar wind torque, which is valid for varying degrees of magnetization in the wind, as well as for stellar spin rates that range from the slow- to the fast-magnetic-rotator regimes.
