A sprinkler head that sprays weak or lopsided is usually clogged with dirt, and the fix is cleaning or replacing the nozzle. Dirt from the line settles in the heads and blocks the tiny openings.
The dirt

The clean

The flush
If every head in a zone is weak, the line may need flushing to push the sediment out before it clogs again.
