If Fair? This can only cause confusion, I beleive. If the pop up is near a foul line, I delay a second or two to determine if fair/foul. Players should be aware of the situation and act accordingly at their own risk.
Avoid adding the "if fair" in all instances of IFR, you would not call any other play with this connotation would you? This is similar to why we do not "call" a ball down the line fair, we only acknowledge by pointing fair or calling foul appropriately.
