I'm just now getting around to reading the article by Eney Jones about 90-degree buoy turns in the latest issue of Swimmer. I'll admit that I never thought of turning like this before even though I've done numerous OW races with buoy turns. Do lots of people use this technique? Will lots more try it after seeing the article? :)
I really like the Fran Crippen method...arm nearest the buoy stops and the far arm continues to stroke until you're around the buoy.
