    Slow down there Bucky on the replacement. Are your zone valves adjustable for flow? If it has a knob (not the small bleeder) on top of the diaphragm bonnet it is probably a flow control.
    Most people don't realize it but 90% of residential systems are wide open as far as flow goes. This causes the water to atomize into a mist instead of laying down a nice even stream. Depending on the head it may be adjustable for flow at the head.

    First & last in the zone are working fine according to the OP, these are the highest and lowest pressure areas respectively, so it wouldn't be the valve pressure.
    My T.P. wheeling and dealing feedback is here.
