Good to have so much confidence in yourself, but life isn't fair
you think you grew alot in the first year, that is normal
from level 0 to 2 is 200% growth
but by the time you go from 2 to 3, 3 to 4 etc will take longer and longer and longer
most players can't exceed a certain level and that's where ma long is better than the thousands of other ma long styles
that's also where some top players in China can't become top 7 in the team and just end up being practice partners.
As I said success comes with a lot of factors other than just your passion or natural built talent
It requires a lot of money - which you don't have
It requires you to start very young - which you don't have
It requires you to be coached correctly - which i'm not sure if you have - heck for you to even ask such question in the forum means to me you have the wrong coaching support structure to groom you to proper PRO level.
It requires you to be in a full time training centre - which I think you don't have - you have too much time on this forum already.....
It requires TT EQ, IQ and all the QQ, which with 1 year, you are still young and i'm sure you still have a lot to learn of how spin really works.
It requires mastering all of the latest technique - of 1 year, I'm sure you hardly have any of these techniques mastered - heck even Ma Long has flaws that he is still trying to work on.
Any ways, your top player in Turkey is in the top 200.
Ahmet Li was wr113 in Dec, 192 now.
When he was 15, was he playing better than you?
Ibrahim Gunduz was wr289 in dec, 160 now
same, when he was 15, was he playing better than you?
If they were playing better than you now - you have a lot of catching up to do
Right now, U15 in Turkey - what rank are you?
I'm sure the above 2 players where top 3 in U15, U18, U21 and seniors for them to be top players in Turkey
If you are outside top 5 U15, you have a lot of catching up to do
Again top 5 and top 10 is only 5 numbers, but from skill set it is maybe "double the level" different.
Btw, just to justify how pro i am versus you,
Current WR15 number 1 - Feng Yi-Hsin of TPE
I did a mutliball session for him before and know how he plays

here is a pic, i'm the one in a shirt
Feng is on my right
His father is a doctor and hired one of my friends - coach Ma Zigang of Heilongjiang Provincial Team to coach Feng, at a cost of USD3000 a month + accommodation/meal/travel allowance
Feng also trains at one of my other friends - Coach Chiang's team, with few other Chinese Taipei stars.

he isn't the best player, the little one standing on the right back, he is only WR18 now in U18, but that is because he plays more senior than junior.
He is better than U18 WR1, this young man is called Lin Yun Ju.
He plays in China Jia A league and has a good average
he was injured in the teams of WJTTC, so he didn't play in singles, else he was a medal contender
He is only16 years old now and already have wins versus Chuang Chih Yuan
He stop schooling at age 13 and plays full time (his father is a professors, so he does home school in the evening)
maybe you should send us a video on how you play, and we can start from there.
Maybe a short term goal is to try and reach U15 WR300 first
