To be a foul tip, the ball needs to go directly from the bat to the catcher's hands or glove, but it does not need to be directly caught, only legally caught. In other words, it can rebound off her hands / glove, and then she can move, lunge, etc., to catch the rebound. If she misses - foul ball. If she catches it - foul tip & strike & live ball.

Dakota,
Just 1 short clarification here - the tipped ball must be caught by the catcher. We had some folks around here who thought that once the batted ball went to the catcher's glove... it could then rebound off the cather into the air & be caught by another fielder. We even had some others who argued that the above was no longer a foul tip, but a foul ball - and they wanted to get an out on this.
