I have a 10 zone sprinkler system with 4 heads per zone. It's worked great for years. This spring, one head on one zone would only spray water 3 ft (verses 20 ft). I replaced the head and and it would still only spray 3 ft. There were no leaks at any of the sprinkler head connections. I took off the head and there seems to be good water flow, but very low pressure. I don't understand how I can have low pressure on one head while the three other heads on the zone are working fine. Any ideas or suggestions?

Could have a kink in the line further up after the three heads that work fine. What's the material?

Have you inspected the 3/4"x1/2" tee?
Problem Fixed! FloridaOrange nailed it. The problem was at the Tee. The tubing (not the Tee) was cracked just after the Tee. I spliced in a new peice of tubing, put on the old head, and everything works great.
It didn't take as much digging as expected. As I was trying different things, water began seeping up from the crack. Thanks for your help.
