Minimal Spring Joint Settings?

What settings would I use to have a spring joint that behaved almost like a hinge joint?

I am touch dragging an object using a spring joint and the settings I've tried so far result in a joint with some amount of stretch and not tight though some of that might be lag in the touch screen.

I've also tried an actual hinge joint which has more the behavior I want, but the physics engines freaks out occasionally probably because the dragged body has a bunch of constraints. The spring joint works well, but is too springy to make an accurate feeling drag. So essentially should the spring joint settings be to act most like a hinge joint?
