Read the part you bolded again. You’ll notice I stipulate that “the ball behind the 1, in the second row ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE that you break from is the second most likely ball to go after the wing ball”.

You’re correct in that those offering a spot ball like to rack it behind the 1, “BUT ON THE SAME SIDE YOU’RE BREAKING FROM”. That is one of the least likely balls to go, it generally drifts to the side in between where the rack is and the side rail unless it’s kicked.

There’s an entire section on this, likely paths of balls out of the rack, in Jack Koehler’s book Upscale 9 ball.
Or if like myself, you don’t get bored spending hours and hours racking and breaking balls from different positions with different speeds and spins and logging and analyzing your results as I did as a young man. If you like to gamble, the break is such a large part of 9 ball that I needed to spend time not only working on it, but analyzing the results looking for consistencies and regular results and patterns for an edge.

you are way more experienced than me so i have to respect your statement i bolded above
but
i thought that if you were giving me the wild 7 in 9 ball
most experienced players giving the spot would stipulate the 7 gets racked behind the 1 ball when racking
said another way
the money ball for me got spotted behind the 1
if its the second most made ball
why would it get spotted there?
am i wrong ?

Ok, google...what a great tip, why did I not think of that...

Well generally if someone gives advice on a product and it's not available in your country you should do a little legwork. I'm not here to spoon feed you. I gave my opinion on the subject at hand.

Don't be lazy, figure out a way to make it work. I mean, I've made my own milk duds with a press I bought on ebay. I'm sure you are capable of doing the same thing if you can't manage to use google good enough to find a domestic supplier.

Really though, I have no idea where you live, do you want me to wax poetic on where to purchase pool items in Cambodia? Surely you understand how silly this seems? Make another post with the subject "I live in X country, where can I buy milk duds" and maybe someone can answer if you're unable to do the simple leg work.
