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.
