Leave it to NFHS to make a ruling more difficult than necessary.
ASA and NCAA have no "speed" requirements to determine a foul tip. In both cases, if the ball goes directly from the bat to the glove without going above the batter's head (assuming that would be in their extended post-swing position), it is ruled a foul tip.
If you run into a coach who knows his rules and you refuse to let a runner keep the base she just acquired via a steal, you may have one helluva good debate.
