If you referring to the size of the stick, then i suggest you get comfortable with various sizes, as it will come in handy for different 'styles' and 'settings' you come across. Normal Stick Sizes : 7,5,2 represents Small, Medium, Thick, respectively and sub categorized with A and B for Small and Big respectively. So thin to thick stick sizes will be as follows. 7A,7B,5A,5B,2A,2B. Though not all the brand will have the same scale for length and breadth.. If you want to know more about sticks in detail, then visits the sites of the brands which I've mentioned above.
