the shafts can make difference, but really, in order to get the ball to rise, it takes a certain amount of ball speed, combined with spin and trajectory to get the ball to rise. most of the pros you see on tv can hit their five iron 190 or more. it's not to say that hitting a 5 iron 160 yards, that you can't get the ball to rise, but odds are against it due to lower ball speed = less wind force or lift.
in todays game, a moderate angle, non rising ball flight will give you the best distance and accuracy anyhow.
at a 6 handicap, why would you want to fix something that's not broken?
