So, BBR, it sounds like it depends on whether or not the dribble ended. If it was just a bat, then the dribble did not end, thus legal. However, if he picked it up with both hands and lobbed it forward to himself and did as described, it would be double dribble as soon as he caught it. Is this correct?

If he ended the dribble and then batted the ball into the air, it's an illegal dribble.
It is not illegal if he is dribbling, bats the ball, goes around the opponent and catches the ball before it hits the floor.
It would never be traveling.
