Yes. The shoulders are ABOVE (superior) to hip.
You have ball and socket type of joints, in the both shoulder and hip joints.
Left shoulder, right shoulder, left hip, right hip.
Both the hip and shoulder joints are referred to as ball and socket joints.
in the hip or shoulder joints
The hip has larger and stronger muscles holding it in place than the shoulder, so when the hip gets hut, it tends to keep everything where it should be
Both joints are enarthrodial (ball and socket joints), but the hip is more stable than the shoulder. This is out of necessity because the hip must support the weight of the body, while the shoulder does not have to. The cup in the hip that the head of the femur sits in is deeper than that of the shoulder holding the head of the humerus. This means less movement for the hip, but more stability.

In humans, the Hip. The reason because it is weight bearing.
Ball-and-Socket Joints. Smooth, hemispherical head fits within a cuplike socket. Only mutiaxial joints in the body are the shoulder joint - head of humerus into glenoid cavity of scapula and the hip joint - head of femur into acetabulum of hip bone.
The shoulder socket is deeper than the hip socket because the shoulder joint sacrifices stability for mobility. This design allows for a greater range of motion at the expense of stability. In contrast, the hip joint is designed for weight-bearing and stability, so it has a shallower socket to provide better support for the body.
