    They will just change your riding position. Won't necessarily give you better or worse control unless the position is better than your current one.

    Same as saddles they are personal choice so go to a shop and try and figure out what width and angle you require first. Then try to calculate how much you want to raise your hands up by. The rise normal equates to low = 10mm, mid = 20mm and high = 38mm.
