WGT took a look at what virtual equipment was used by the top players in the 2011 Virtual U.S. Open Championship.
Here's what's in the bag for mrenn29, the Virtual U.S. Open Champion:
Driver
TaylorMade R11 9.0 Driver (L88+)
3-Wood
TaylorMade R11 3 Wood (L85+)
Irons
TaylorMade Burner 2.0 Iron Set (Steel) (L79+)

If you look at the equipment used by ALL 210 qualifiers in the Virtual U.S. Open, most is similar to mrenn29, but with some interesting exceptions, especially with the short game equipment including the wedges, putters and balls, as well as the practice of carrying an extra wedge instead of a hybrid.
