Rut,
I advise new officials to avoid the "foul tip" signal.
My reasoning is that although everyone knows you were on that play, then what should it mean when you do not use the signal the next time, ...that you missed it?

["Last time he knew it was tipped, but this time he isn't sure"]

I suggest merely pointing the direction, "they" will believe you, or not, and regardless, the ball is still going "That way."
