how to make quad topo here?

Question

I can't figure out how to properly make quad topology here so that it is nice and smooth & pinching-free after sub-div surface modifier? Help plz c:

I am getting such shading errors (waves)

See the waves is it forming.

I agree with Apec, probably better to use a 32 vertex cylinder instead — moonboots, Aug 11 '23 at 18:51

In your case, IMO, like this to minimize stretch: blue - good, red - bad curvature

But for good curvature need Cylinder with more (32) edges.

What would be your approach, other than increasing edges? I wish to know the right approach without increasing vert count too much – NewBlenderer Aug 11 '23 at 19:07
the "blue" way but without increasing Cylinder edges, nothing better comes to mind. – APEC Aug 11 '23 at 19:14
Okay... Thanks for the input. – NewBlenderer Aug 11 '23 at 19:19

The one solution i found for shading error is the DATA TRANSFER modifier. It fixed the shading issue.
