Baldness comes from the X chromosome. As a male, you get your X from your mother, whom carries two X chromosomes. If her mother's side of the family doesn't exhibit the trait, there's a chance you received that X chromosome and will not be bald.

There is no certainty that if your maternal grandfather was bald you would also be bald. It depends upon the combination of genes responsible for your hairs and also on the quality of care you take of your hairs.
