The verdict

The Acrab is Babolat's genuinely light, accessible round racket - a straightforward EVA core and fibreglass face at a very manageable 330g. It's built to be an easy, all-round starting point rather than a specialist frame in any direction.

What we loved
Genuinely light 330g build is very easy to swing
Round shape stays forgiving on off-centre contact
Real Babolat build quality at an accessible price
Worth knowing
Power is minimal by design - not built to finish points early
Fibreglass face trades crispness for comfort

A light, easy all-rounder from Babolat

Babolat keeps this simple and light - an EVA core and fibreglass face built to be easy to swing rather than to specialise. It's a sound, low-risk way into the Babolat range for a beginner or anyone who prioritises ease of handling over raw output.
