MAG Three Quarter Grip

The Three Quarter Grip (TQ008) is MAG Grips’ middle-width lat pulldown attachment, built to split the difference between their Medium (~22”) and Wide (~38”) paddle handles for lifters who find the Wide simply too wide. At roughly 30” between the paddles, it carries the same rubber- coated paddle-handle design, curvature, and Ohio, USA construction as the rest of the MAG lineup, with a pronation angle that sits between Medium and Wide.

Early hands-on coverage is consistently positive: one reviewer who received the handle ahead of its public release called it the most natural-feeling MAG attachment for a traditional lat pulldown, while a buying guide positions it as a solid option for smaller athletes (5’6”-6’) or for rotating through width variations across a pulldown workout. It’s a pulldown-only piece, though — reviewers note it doesn’t translate well to T-bar rows or wide-emphasis seated rows, so it fills a specific gap rather than replacing anything else in a cable-attachment collection.

What is a Cable Attachment?

What cable attachments are

Cable attachments are the handles and bars that clip to a cable machine, functional trainer, or lat/row station to change the exercise — lat bars, triceps ropes, single-D handles, row/close-grip handles, ankle straps, and more. A small set of them turns one cable stack into dozens of movements.

What to look for

A rotating swivel or ball-bearing joint keeps the cable from twisting and lets the handle track your arm; comfortable, durable grips (knurled metal, rubber, or coated nylon) survive heavy use; and a standard carabiner or snap fits most machines. Match the attachment to the exercises you actually train rather than buying a giant kit you won’t use.

A purpose-built middle ground in MAG’s lat-pulldown lineup — sized and angled to sit between their Medium and Wide handles for lifters who find Wide simply too wide. Its standout dimension is functionality: early users (including one who received it ahead of MAG’s public release) describe it as the most natural-feeling MAG handle for a traditional lat pulldown, with a pronation angle between Medium and Wide. Build quality carries over MAG’s well-regarded paddle-handle construction, made in Ohio. Its weak spot is versatility — it’s a pulldown-only attachment that doesn’t work well for T-bar rows or wide seated rows, so it adds a narrow, specific use case rather than replacing anything else in a cable-attachment collection.

+Functionality: sized and angled to split the difference between MAG's Medium and Wide handles, addressing the common complaint that Wide is too wide for smaller/average-height lifters (Joe Gray video; graymatterlifting.com)
+Functionality: an early user who received it before public release called it the most natural-feeling MAG handle for a standard lat pulldown, closer to a traditional pulldown bar feel than MAG's other paddle handles (Joe Gray, "New MAG Grip Attachment YOU NEED!")
+Build quality: carries over MAG's paddle-handle design, curvature, and Ohio-made construction from the rest of a well-regarded lineup (graymatterlifting.com; maxagrip.com)
+Value: at $69.95 it undercuts full 5-8 handle MAG bundles for buyers who only want to fill this one width gap (maxagrip.com)

−Versatility: pulldown-only — doesn't work well for T-bar rows (via a lever/landmine setup) or for wide-emphasis seated rows, so it's a narrow addition rather than a multi-exercise piece (Joe Gray, "New MAG Grip Attachment YOU NEED!")
−Versatility: at review time MAG had no non-back-focused attachments (e.g. a tricep piece) planned to arrive on any firm schedule, so this stays a lat-pulldown specialist, not a do-it-all handle (Joe Gray video)
−Durability: no independent long-term wear reports yet distinct from the rest of the MAG lineup — coverage is early-adopter impressions, not years-of-use accounts (KB sources)
−Value: real-world alternative is a cheaper knockoff (e.g. BLUSLM) rather than a straight up/down price comparison — MAG's own TQ008 had no direct knockoff equivalent at the time of the most detailed community comparison found (r/homegym)
