There are only six possible motions. Translation in X, Y, and Z, then rotation in X, Y and Z.

A ball and socket joint applies kinematic restraint to all three translations, leaving you with the three rotations around your principle axes.

How about up, down, left, right, clockwise, and counterclockwise?
