 The ultra rocket and maxed out have the same 8" gullet.  I don't know what the difference is between the two.   I hate that happened to you, I love my Caldwells

So your problem is - the tree is too big?

It might help if i had pics of front with tape of someone's Promax, and someone's maxxed out along with mine she might have to take a look then. It would help those sending pics if they could take a pic with tape way up where it meets the swell, then another mddle of conchos

yes i had a gelding i was running that the proracer fit him but was a tad tight. the shape of the tree was good  so i thought getting a promax would be perfect. but he was swimming in it. he is retired now and pretty fat so maybe i will go put it on him again just to see if it fits now. he is 15 hands and used to be middle of the road in size as i kept him racehorse fit but now he is a fatty. if it doesn't fit him now then I don't see how it is a promax

Comparing your pic to mine of my ultra/maxed out, mine is easily 8" and that is just from inside of the gullet on the fleece.  I think yours does look like a 
7" gullet.

thanks everyone. I tried it on my new horse again and it fits better than it did when he first got here so I just might keep it the way it is. i think I will ride it for a month then if needed send it back for a new tree.

I have always thought a ProMax "seemed" more than 1/2" wider than a Pro Racer as well. I've also felt the same on the twist trees from a TG to a Rocket. It seems like more of a jump than 1/2" but, I've never taken the time to measure honestly. The mid size trees of both lines have fit everything I've owned for 10 years now. I love them! I have NO idea how I made the TG and Pro Racer work on anything back in the day when that's the only ones we had to choose from. They seem so narrow to me now, LOL! I had a pad modified with cut outs on a big horse I ran in a Pro Racer. It worked :) I can measure my ProMax and take photos if you need more to compare.

That would be great thank you.
