BallSocketConstraint
A BallSocketConstraint constrains its Attachments so that they occupy the same position. By default it allows both attachments to freely rotate about all of their axes, but if LimitsEnabled is true, the attachments can only rotate in a limited cone.
Note that if this constraint attaches one part (A) to another part (B) that is anchored or connected to an anchored part (Z), part A will not be locally simulated when interacting with a player.
When configuring this constraint, it may be helpful to study Roblox Units to understand how Roblox units compare to metric units.
Limits
You can set limits to restrict both tilt and twist of a ball socket, similar to how a human's head can tilt and turn within a limited axial range. Enabling the LimitsEnabled property exposes the UpperAngle value to restrict tilt within a cone; it also exposes the TwistLimitsEnabled property which, when enabled, lets you restrict twist rotation through the TwistLowerAngle and TwistUpperAngle limits.

Properties
LimitsEnabled
Sets whether the BallSocketConstraint has a limit on rotation based on UpperAngle. When true, it enforces that its Attachment1 isn't rotated more than a set angle from its Attachment0.
MaxFrictionTorque
Sets the maximum frictional torque applied to keep its Attachments aligned.
MaxFrictionTorque specifies the stiffness of the BallSocketConstraint (how much it resists rotation around its Attachments).
Restitution
How elastic Attachments connected by a BallSocketConstraint will be when they reach the end of the range specified by UpperAngle when LimitsEnabled is true. Constrained between 0 and 1.
TwistLimitsEnabled
Sets whether the BallSocketConstraint sets a limit on twist rotation based on TwistUpperAngle and TwistLowerAngle. The twist angle is defined as the angle between the Y axis of Attachment1 and the Y axis of Attachment0.
TwistLowerAngle
Sets the lower twist rotation limit of the BallSocketConstraint, as long as TwistLimitsEnabled is true.
TwistUpperAngle
Sets the upper twist rotation limit of the BallSocketConstraint, as long as TwistLimitsEnabled is true.
UpperAngle
Sets the upper rotation limit of the BallSocketConstraint, as long as LimitsEnabled is true.
