Makes no difference if it rebounds up into the air after going directly to the hands; if it is caught, it is a foul tip. Otherwise, it is a foul ball.

Would it be an out if it goes "indirectly" to the catcher's glove? I don't think so. By "indirectly" this means it must have touched something else, such as the batter or the umpire. In both of these cases we have a foul ball and a strike if these than 2 strikes.
