The MAX-Control is a double-jointed bit that, at first glance, is indistinguishable from any other double-jointed loose ring snaffle. However, it is a correction or training bit that locks into place at a specific angle, thus becoming a double-butted bit. The bit fits very comfortably in the mouth when the horse is working well. When the horse resists the rider's hand, the more intense rigid effect occurs.
