Because of this, a disc is only thrown upside down in Ultimate if the thrower wants the disc to float down slower. This technique (either through a hammer/thumber/scoober) is often used to get the disc around/over a cup.

When we go to competition, many of the human players will be throwing these types of throws in order to get the disk over the 8 foot high wall. With the float these throws generate, it is extremely difficult to get the disk into a vertical target. This makes the chance of a human player scoring next to nothing.
About what distance does it take for the hammers/bombs to level out when thrown "correctly"? Would it be feasible to throw them as a hammer and have them land in the alliance pyramid after leveling out?
