Am I the only one that found it ridiculous that Harry and Hermione were so much better at magic than someone who grew up in a magical family? Did his wand really screw him over that much?

Yes. According to wand lore, the wand Ron got from Charlie was Ash with Unicorn hair. Both Ash and Unicorn hair are extremely loyal magical wand materials and they CHOSE Charlie, not Ron. (Remember, the wand chooses the wizard.)

Ron's first wand was all wrong for him. Like Neville's who was trying to use Frank's wand. (Though probably for different reasons for than why Ron was using Charlie's.) The wands blocked their power and made it hard to use. (Like when Harry was using a Snatcher's wand before he claimed Draco's by 'winning' it.)

Otherwise, when Ron got a new wand, nothing was ever really delved in character wise about what magic he was GOOD at. (mistake really) He sort of tagged along with Harry. His new wand, according to the Celtic tree calendar is good for protection, healing and "women's mysteries." But JK never went into it in her canon.
