    We present new measurements of the projected spin-orbit angle lambda for six WASP hot Jupiters, four of which are new to the literature (WASP-61, -62, -76, and -78), and two of which are new analyses of previously measured systems using new data (WASP-71, and -79). We use three different models based on two different techniques: radial velocity measurements of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect, and Doppler tomography. Our comparison of the different models reveals that they produce projected stellar rotation velocities (v sin I sub( s)) measurements often in disagreement with each other and with estimates obtained from spectral line broadening. The Boue model for the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect consistently underestimates the value of v sin I sub( s) compared to the Hirano model. Although v sin I sub( s) differed, the effect on lambda was small for our sample, with all three methods producing values in agreement with each other. Using Doppler tomography, we find that WASP-61 b ( lambda =4 degree . 0 +...), WASP-71 b ( lambda =-1 degree . 9 +...), and WASP-78 b ( lambda = -6. degree 4 plus or minus 5.9) are aligned. WASP-62 b ( lambda =19 degree . 4 +...) is found to be slightly misaligned, while WASP-79 b ( lambda =-95 degree .2 +...) is confirmed to be strongly misaligned and has a retrograde orbit. We explore a range of possibilities for the orbit of WASP-76 b, finding that the orbit is likely to be strongly misaligned in the positive lambda direction.
