I just bought the Gravity Evolve. My first solid cover ball. Had a good look with it today during open bowling by the way. Anyhow, because the Spec cover does not absorb oil at the rate of other balls. Is it possible that this and other Spec cover balls can carry the oil down the lane?  My friend that was bowling with me seems to think so as a few of his shots did not finish through the pins.

I have a gravity evolve and that has not been my experience with it.  it might be "slow" at absorbing oil; but I do not see mine "redepositing" the oil down lane.

Even the fastest absorbing ball on the market still has oil on it when it gets back to the return . . flare has much more to do with carrydown than absorption rate.  Something like a Black Widow urethane won't cause much more carrydown if any than a resin ball because it flares more than traditional urethane.  Even if you don't wipe the ball off, the "backend" flare rings will always stay dry and the only carrydown you get from a higher flaring ball is at the bowties and that's super minimal.
