To the glove, into the air, back to the glove. It wasn't caught cleanly. So a batted ball that goes from the bat back to the catcher who then juggles it (i.e goes from hand to glove and back several times) is a foul tip?
Has anyone else been told the same thing, that a foul tip must be caught cleanly?

FOUL TIP;
A batted ball that goes directly from the bat, not higher than the batter's head, to the catcher's hand(s) or glove and is legally caught by the catcher.
Directly to the glove, and legally caught won't all have to be in the same second. Think about a legally caught fly ball. When can a runner tag? after the catch, or first contact?
