You're likely to get no further than the knees.
It's better to lift your leg and kick outwards towards the groin but this is still not guaranteed to work.
The best time is when they are dodging a punch backwards as they are using their legs to counter balance and it's not as easy to bring their knees together.
If you miss though, you leave yourself wide open. If they catch your leg, you're fucked.
Ball kicking is really only effective if the guy's not paying attention.
Yeah, the ball shot should never be the first move. Either feint and get a desired reaction to open the groin, as Little Lunch points out, or soften them up with other types of blows so they aren't prepared when you do launch the rock crusher.
