Golf club head providing enhanced acoustics

A method of forming a golf club head, comprising the steps of:

• forming a hollow body delimited by a striking plate, a sole, a crown, a hosel, and a side portion extending rearwardly from the strike plate, the hollow body having a heel region adjacent to the hosel, a toe region opposing the heel region, and a maximum club head width measured between the heel region and the toe region;
• and
• providing a stiffening member completely disposed within a first zone and extending away from the heel region between the heel region and the toe region, wherein the stiffening member is spaced apart from the striking plate and directly coupled to at least one of the sole and the crown;
• wherein the first zone is disposed within the hollow body and extends less than one-third the maximum club head width from the outermost heel region towards the toe region.

• and
• providing a substantially planar stiffening member completely disposed within a first zone, wherein the stiffening member is spaced apart from the striking plate and directly coupled to at least the sole and the crown;
• wherein the first zone is disposed within the hollow body and extends less than half the maximum club head width from the outermost heel region towards the toe region.
