Spin, hop step, euro-step, cradle, reverse, and change shot layup attempts receive a boost. Additionally, the ability to beat defenders with gathers is improved.
94+
HoF
If you are going this high you might as well get HoF as it does give the best chance to make these types of shots
85+
Gold
Gold gives the biggest jump in boost
80 and Below
Bronze
Nice to have for extra animations but wouldnt recommend these shots with too low of a layup
Acrobat - 2k23 Test Details

We did three separate tests for this badge.

1st we did 200 change shots vs a defender with Bronze anchor and 70 interior/block at every badge level and without the badge. The offensive player had 85 driving layup. The 2nd test we did the same thing except with euro's, and the last test we did reverse layups.

Acrobat - 2k23 Test Results

The first test we found gold to be the sweet spot as you can see in the chart below. But we did find that change shots were kind of nerfed since interior defense has been buffed. They are not as OP as before. Euros, again gold is probably the best value. Reverses are not worth attempting as any contest will likely result in a miss.

Badge Unlock Table Details

This table shows how many attribute points you need in order to unlock a badge at the level in the header. If a badge is a Tier 1 badge you do not need any attributes in order to unlock the badge at a bronze level. If its Tier 2 or 3, you will need to meet the attribute threshold to unlock the badge. If there is more than one attribute listed, you only need to meet the threshold on one of the attributes, not multiple.
