bald as a billiard ball
Utterly without hair
Completely hairless, especially on the head.
The comparison to the smooth, polished surface of a billiard ball emphasizes total baldness rather than mere thinning: My grandfather went bald as a billiard ball by thirty.
The alliteration makes the phrase memorable.
