Greatest degree of control - flat bars or standard?

I'm using a flat bar bike at the moment (Boardman Comp hybrid) which seems OK but wondered if a standard bar bike gives you greater control? I'm not sure which is the better option as I'm still very new to it all.

    A flat bar is probably more stable but a drop bar is still more than stable enough. The advantages of drop bars lie in their versatility

    Just as I feared - its my technique that needs improving rather than my bike needs changing!

    Yup, that is one of the harsh realities. Lots of practice (which is fun :)) and you will be doing well.

    Best of luck with your journey.
