I have recently noticed in my videos that I seem to have flat or slightly collapsed hand arch (metacarpal joints) in my left hand. @BartK pointed it out, to...

The ranges of motion of the wrist. And keeping the non-playing fingers resting on the key surface in a neutral state.

In the video when he demonstrates the exaggerated up-down motion of the wrist, I could not get my wrist as low as shown until I lowered my sit to be a lot more than I expected.

Pallas BTW I am not practicing anything in the Conus book. In fact, I am not sure if that's a good idea without a good teacher watching over what I do. It's just I am doing a lot of research into the technical side of the playing motion recently. More than a few sources are all converging on the principles similar to this video.

Yeah, neither am I. I tried to do a few exercises when I first got it, but without feedback I don't see the point. But I do find the books interesting, and look at them for the same reason as you I think. I have asked three teachers about these methods and none are interested, so I'm just looking out of curiosity and interest.
