Woodforde's original frame was the Snauwert Hi-Ten50 (100sq headsize).
Woodforde's a tricky customer with his racquets simply because he used so many different ones over the years.
Apart from the Snauwert he did use a Sfida (briefly), an ATP model (which I think is the one in the picture) made by Snauwert, Yonex (as Grant mentioned and Todd Woodbridge mentions in his recently published bio) and a few Wilson models.

Though Sampras served only six aces, he kept Woodforde lunging left and right to return balls, and easily erased the only break point he faced the entire match.
When Woodforde tried a lob, Sampras soared about three feet off the ground and hammered an overhead crosscourt into the corner to close out the match.
