A Ball and socket joint.
No, the shoulder joint is a ball-and-socket joint, allowing for a wide range of motion in multiple directions.
The three functional articulations are synarthrosis which is an immovable join and example would be a suture, amphiarthrosis a slightly immovable joint an example is the symphysis, and last the diarthrosis a freely movable joint such as the elbow or knee joint.
There are two joints in the shoulder - the 'main one' that joints the bone of the arm (humerus) to the shoulder blade (scapula) is called the glenohumeral joint. A smaller joint connects the shoulder blade with the collar bone (clavicle). This is called the acromioclavicular joint.
The shoulder joint refers specifically to the ball-and-socket joint where the upper arm bone meets the shoulder blade. The shoulder girdle joint, on the other hand, encompasses multiple joints and structures that connect the upper limb to the axial skeleton, including the shoulder joint itself, as well as the acromioclavicular and sternoclavicular joints.

Ball-and-Socket. by nick bishop
Balloon socket joint is not there in human body. You have ball and socket joint in your body. Shoulder joint and hip joint are the example of this type of joint.
The shoulder is an example of a ball-and-socket joint, where the head of the humerus articulates with the glenoid fossa of the scapula. This joint provides a wide range of motion, allowing for movements like flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation of the arm. The surrounding muscles, ligaments, and tendons help stabilize and support the shoulder joint during movement.

An example of a condyloid joint is the metacarpophalangeal joint. Where the metacarpal meets the phalange is an example of a condyloid joint. The meet and allow the finger flexion and extension.
