Hi Nigel,
Sounds like there may be tension that is leading to this problem. It really doesn't take much effort to lift a heavy backspin ball. It is about getting your technique correct and then letting the arm swing through freely in the correct motion.
This tension during your 'loop' will mean you are also throwing yourself off balance. If the shoulder isn't moving freely then the whole body will need to move to allow the bat to lift up. This will always lead to problems. I don;t think this is an equipment issue.
Think about maintaining your balance throughout your stroke and then the next ball will be more comfortable. The less effort the better.
