I have trouble finding out what is the best placement on the bat to loop what is the best suitable position?

Hi Kevin,
In general aim for the middle of the bat when looping. You get a better contact because of the sweet spot of the bat.
You can experiment a little with hitting it towards the top of the bat for a slower shot with a little more spin, especially against heavy backspin, but in general go for the safety of the middle.
