There are many jazz-style sticks out there that can feel light. Also, look at maple sticks instead of hickory. It's a less-dense wood that creates a lighter stick.
Pro-Mark Maple MJZ11 "Jazz Café" Wood Tip
Diameter: .495"
Length: 15 3/8"
Don't know if you'll find anything much lighter than that
Regal tip jazz are pretty light too.
I use the Vic Firth Questlove sticks.............real long and thin............great for semi-quiet play
I found 7A's were a bit too light, but the Regal Tip 8A Jeff Porcaro model has been my 'go-to' pair that is the best compromise between a 5A and a 7A....for my hands anyway.

I love the Regal Tip Jazz sticks mentioned above.

You can get a whole box of them for a few bucks.
Questlove sticks working the best so far! Thanks all!
