first and foremost... relax your hands... think about the upstroke as too many players "hit" the marimba instead of making everything one fluid motion while drawing out the sound. pull the sound out instead of hitting it in. simply touch the bars with your mallets and the instrument will sing as a cello does. each upstroke becomes the downstroke for the next note. they should suppoet one another and should not be thought of as separate. and again... relax your hands until you feel the mallets vibrate in your palms.
