Rain Bird introduces new 952 Series Rotors

Design improvements include combining full-circle and part-circle capabilities.


Rain Bird Golf has introduced its new 952 Series Rotors. The rotors feature Rapid-Adjust and MemoryArc technology, allowing golf courses to set them at full-circle (360°) or part-circle arcs (30° to 345°) by turning a screw.

“Combining full-circle and part-circle capability results in less maintenance, more versatility and ease of use – all in one rotor,” said Jeff Lawson, marketing manager for Rain Bird Golf. “Incorporating Rain Bird’s legendary quality and innovation, our new 952 Series Rotors deliver unmatched performance for the most optimal course playing conditions.”

Rain Bird has integrated multiple design improvements into the 952 Series, including better distribution uniformity, reduced dwell time and a crisp edge performance for improved playing conditions and healthier turf. The 952 Series has a self-adjusting stator and a single nozzle set for use across the entire course. The 952 Series Rotors are designed with Rain Bird’s Timeless Compatibility, meaning they can provide a no-dig upgrade for courses with 900/950 Series Rotors already installed.

“The improvements we’ve made to the 952 Series also maximize the potential of Rain Bird’s new CirrusPRO central control system,” Lawson said. “The combination of CirrusPRO and our 952 Series Rotors puts more control into the hands of the superintendent than ever before. For example, together, they provide a powerful and precise irrigation solution that improves a course’s watering time with rotations and ET.”

The 952 Series features three models, including an IC version compatible with the Rain Bird IC System which connects irrigation central control directly to every rotor and valve for optimal water and energy efficiency. Electric and Stopamatic (SAM) models are also available. All 952 Series rotors are top serviceable with a snap-cover design that allows for quick access to internal components.

“Rain Bird is continuing its long tradition of designing and engineering the most innovative rotors in the golf irrigation industry,” Lawson said. “In today’s demanding market, courses need rotors that they can depend on day in and day out. With the 952 Series, we’re giving them just that – rotors that provide unmatched performance, versatility and convenience.”
